Question 140610: If I deposited $1000 at a 5% interest rate annually and wanted to know how long it would take to earn $100 dollars of interest and at what amount it was earned, what would the equation be to figure out this problem? Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let y be the number of years it take to get $100 interest.
1000*.05y=100
50y=100
y=100/50=2 years.
