You can put this solution on YOUR website! How much is the sum to be invested?
Calling the sum to invest, A, then 12% per year compounded QUARTERLY, means or 3% interest rate PER QUARTER.
Wanted is finish with $400000.
, in which n is how many quarter-of-the-year periods; or how many three-month periods.
Decide what your A value really is, and solve the equation for n; and then convert that into the number of years or months.

In the number 2500,00 in your post, you placed "comma" in wrong place.
It is MATH; hence, everything MUST BE in their correct places:
every letter, every digit, and even every punctuation sign.
And it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY and YOUR DUTY to write correctly to this forum.
