Answer:

it will take approximately 6.32 annum(years) to reach $40000

Explanation:

9.5% of $25000 = $2375

$40000 - $25000 = $15000 so you need to make an interest of $15000 overall to reach $40000

since you make $2375 each year therefore

$15000 ÷ $2375 will give you the number of years to reach $40000

hence 15000 ÷ 2375 = 6.315

approximately = 6.32 annum(years)
