1/5 is the same as 20% interest so we can use the compound interest formula:
A=P(1+i)^n, P=initial investment, i=interest rate per period, A=amount after n periods
..
For given problem:
P=$2400
i=20%
n=to find
A=$3600
..
3600=2400(1+.2)^n
3600/2400=1.2^n
1.5=1.2^n
take log of both sides
log1.5=nlog1.2
n=log1.5/log1.2
n≈2.2 yrs
