Carin opened a money market account with a deposit of $3,000. This account earns 2% simple interest annually. How many years will it take for her $3,000 deposit to earn $420 in interest, assuming she does not withdraw any of the money?

Answer: 7 years

2% = 0.02

3000·0.02=60.00

1 year simple interest = $60.00

420/60=7

7 years
