The number of years will it take for the balance of the account to be $6500 with simple interest is 4 years.
<h3>What is simple interest?</h3>
Simple interest is the amount charged on the principal amount with a fixed rate of interest for a time period. Simple interest calculated only on the principal amount.
The formula for the simple interest can be given as,

Here, (<em>I</em>) is the interest amount on the principal amount of (<em>P</em>) with the rate of (<em>r</em>) in the time period of (<em>t</em>).
The principal amount deposited in the account is $5000 and the final amount is $6500. Thus, the interest rate will be,

Suppose it took <em>t</em> years to get $1500 interest in the account. Therefore, put the values in the above formula as,

Solve it further for <em>t </em>as,

Hence, the number of years will it take for the balance of the account to be $6500 with simple interest is 4 years.
