If you have $2350 in your savings account, that means you have accumulated $450 interest. ($2350, minus investment of $1900, equals $450.)

Interest = Principal * Rate * Time (in years)

450 = 1900 * 0.0794 * Time

450 = 150.86 * Time

2.98290 = Time

So, the money was invested for approximately 3 years.
