You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I lifted this from another site:
A = P (1 + r/n) (nt)
Where:
A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)
r = the annual interest rate (decimal)
n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year
t = the number of years the money is invested or borrowed for
---------------------------------------------------------
For your problem:
+A+=+1200+
+P+=+600+
+r+=+.08+
+n+=+12+
Solve for +t+
