Question

Molly Invests $8,600 into her son's college fund, which earns 3% annual interest

Answer 1

Answer:

n= 13.8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to determine the daily interest rate:

Daily interest rate= 0.03 / 365

Daily interest rate= 0.000082

Now, using the following formula we can determine the number of days and years:

n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)  

n= ln(13,000 / 8,600) / ln(1.000082)

n= 5,039 days

In years:

n= 5,039/365

n= 13.8 years
