-------
A(t) = P(1+(r/n))^(nt)
----
8000 = 2000(1+0.15/365)^(365t)
----
4 = (1.0004110)^(365t)
----
(365t) = log(4)/log(1.0004110)
---
t = 9.24 years

Let d = number of days
Assuming interest is 15% per annum and that there are 365.25 days in a year then the interest every day = 15% / 365.25.
hence


Taking logs

hence
d = 3376.3198690738941804021745971694 days = 9.243 years (4 sf, using 365.25 days/year).
