We have been given that you invest $100,000 in an account earning 8% interest compounded annually. We are asked to find the time it will take the amount to reach $300,000.

We will use compound interest formula to solve our given problem.

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}, where,

A = Final amount after t years,

P = Principal amount,

r = Annual interest rate in decimal form,

n = Number of times interest is compounded per year,

t = Time in years.  

8\%=\frac{8}{100}=0.08

300,000=100,000(1+\frac{0.08}{1})^{1\cdot t}

300,000=100,000(1.08)^{t}

\frac{300,000}{100,000}=\frac{100,000(1.08)^{t}}{100,000}

3=(1.08)^{t}

(1.08)^{t}=3

Let us take natural log on both sides of equation.

\text{ln}((1.08)^{t})=\text{ln}(3)

Using natural log property \text{ln}(a^b)=b\cdot \text{ln}(a), we will get:

t\cdot \text{ln}(1.08)=\text{ln}(3)

\frac{t\cdot \text{ln}(1.08)}{\text{ln}(1.08)}=\frac{\text{ln}(3)}{\text{ln}(1.08)}

t=\frac{1.0986122886681097}{0.0769610411361283}

t=14.274914586

Upon rounding to nearest tenth of year, we will get:

t\approx 14.3

Therefore, it will take approximately 14.3 years until the account holds $300,000.

2.0x10^-5 or 2.0E-5 —this is because as a small decimal number, you move the decimal to the right five spaces and then add a negative to the decimal to indicate that when you translate back (from scientific notation to 0.00002) you will move the decimal to the left
