Answer: b. $100

Step-by-step explanation: According to the rule of 72, you will be able to know when an investment will double if you divide 72 by the annual interest rate.

in this case since the interest rate are the same for all three amount, the smallest initial amount will double fastest since it requires the least amount of time to double.
