The rate of interest required is ?%
(Round two decimals as needed) Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let P be your principal, and r be your annual rate of interest. Then, after 3 years you have:
2P=P(1+r)^3
So:
log 2=log(1+r)^3
log 2=3 log (1+r)
1+r=1.2599210498948731647672106072782
r=26%
