Question 1181745
.



            John misread the problem.


            I came to bring a correct solution.



<pre>
We have simple interest rate, so our equation is


    2500 = 1700*(1 + 0.0675*t).


From the equation,


    t = {{{(2500-1700)/(1700*0.0675)}}} = 6.972 years = 7 years (rounded).    <U>ANSWER</U>

Solved.
