~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P(1+rt)\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\dotfill & \$200000\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$150000\\ r=rate\to 7.5\%\to (7.5)/(100)\dotfill &0.075\\ t=years \end{cases}


200000=150000[1+(0.075)(t)] \implies \cfrac{200000}{150000}=1+0.075t \\\\\\ \cfrac{4}{3}=1+0.075t\implies \cfrac{4}{3}-1=0.075t\implies \cfrac{1}{3}=0.075t \\\\\\ \cfrac{1}{3(0.075)}=t\implies 4.44\approx t\qquad \textit{about 4 years and 160 days}
