Question 342421: You invest $200 into a savings account that earns 2% simple interest. How long will it take to earn $50 in interest? What is the formula that is needed? Answer by kcanil08(11) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Principal amount (P)= $200
Rate (R) = 2% per annum
Time (T) = ?
Simple Interest (I) = $50
= 12.5 years
(PS: I have assumed the interest given is simple interest. Reply me if the interest given is the compound interest. My email is akc2@uno.edu)
