Answer:

Sylvia's investment would double first

Explanation:

The number of years it takes for amount invested to double itself using the 72 rule is 72 divided by rate of interest as computed below:

Sylvia investment:

Sylvia's investment would double in 9 years' time (72/8)

Manuel's investment"

Manuel investment of $600 would double itself in 9.9 years' time (72/7.25)

From the above analysis,Sylvia's investment of $500 at the 8% rate of interest would double first
