Question 625920: I'm trying to solve a future value equation and i need to solve for t. Please i just cant seem to get it
the formula is fv=pv(1+r)^t
If my fv=1105 pv=250 interest is 8% what is t(number of years) i need it broke down all the way please because my calculations just aren't coming out right.
PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the formula is fv=pv(1+r)^t
If my fv=1105 pv=250 interest is 8% what is t(number of years)
-------------
1105 = 250*(1.08)^t
You didn't spec the compounding period, I'll use yearly
1105 = 250*(1.08)^t
1.08^t - 1105/250 = 4.42
t*log(1.08) = log(4.42)
t = log(4.42)/log(1.08)
t =~ 19.31 years
