Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum you are trying to understand is this.
Remember that in general when you have a geometric series
you have that
and that equality is true as long as 
.
Therefore here we have
and 
Therefore we can use the formula and
The time it will take the principal to grow to the desired amount is 0.7 years
Using the compound interest formula :
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
A = final amount = 225,000
P = principal = 180,000
r = rate = 3.12%
n = Number of compounding times per period = 12(monthly)
t = time
225000 = 180000(1 + (0.0312 /12))^(12t)
Divide both sides by 180000
225000/180000 = (1 + (0.0312 /12))^(12t)
1.25 = 1.026^12t
Take the log of both sides
0.0969100 = 0.0111473 × 12t
0.0969100 = 0.1337676t
Divide both sides by 0.1337676 to isolate t
0.0969100 / 0.1337676 = t
0.7244 years
0.7 years
It will take 0.7 years for the amount to grow
