So.. 2.86 - 2.79 is the amount in decrease or 0.07

so.. if we take 2.86 as the 100%, how much is 0.07 of that in percentage?

well \bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
2.86&100\\
0.07&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{2.86}{0.07}=\cfrac{100}{x}

solve for "x"

oee [108]
Rule of 72 says to divide 72 by the rate of return and that will be the number of years an investment will double

18-3 = 15

 the answer is: <span>Yes, the $15,000 will double each 7.5 years. In 15 years, it will double twice.</span>
