You can put this solution on YOUR website! if 2500 is invested at an interest rate of 6.5% compounded monthly how long will it take for the investment to reach 7500
---------
A(t) = P(1+(r/n))^(n*t)
-----
7500 = 2500(1+(0.065/12))^(12*t)
-------
1.0054^(12t) = 3
--------
12t = log(3)/log(1.0054)
------
12t = 204
t = 17 years
