Question

Gordon Rosel went to his bank to find out how long it will take for $2,500 to amount to $3,090 at 6% simple interest. Calculate the number of years. (Round time in years to the nearest tenth.)

Answer 1

A(t) = P(1+rt)
2310 = 1800(1+0.0775*t)
1.2833 = 1+0.0775t
0.0775t = 0.2833

Answer 2

It will take 4 years
