Question 730691: Assume that you place money in an account subject to intrest compounded annually. Use the formula A= P(1+r)t. How long will it take for an investment to increase by 60% at an intrest rate of 6%? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assume that you place money in an account subject to intrest compounded annually. Use the formula A= P(1+r)t. How long will it take for an investment to increase by 60% at an interest rate of 6%?
--------
A(t) = P(1+(r/n))^(nt)
------
1.6P = P(1+(0.06/1))^(1*t)
----
1.6 = 1.06^t
-----
t = log(1.6)/log(1.06)
-----
t = 8.066 years
