We can assign the value "2x" as the amount of money that Amelia which to achieve in twelve years.
So, his initial money is X.
We can try each percent to test if it could double the amount in 12 years.
x+0.06*12years*x=1.72X
x+0.12*12*x=1.44x
x+0.1*12*x=2.2x
x+0.166*12*x=2.992x

Therefore, the answer is 10 percent.

It is given that point Q partitions the directed line segment from A to B in 4:3. It means 4 parts are before Q and 3 partes are after Q.

It is given that point R partitions the directed line segment from A to B in2:5. It means 2 parts are before R and 5 partes are after R.

It is given that point S partitions the directed line segment from A to B in 5:2. It means 5 parts are before S and 2 partes are after S.
