(See attached formula)
Years = log (total / principal) / n*log(1 + rate/n) where n = compounding periods per year
Years = log (total / principal) / n*log(1 + rate/n)
Rate of .75% = .0625 per month
We'll say we want total = 200 and principal = 100
Years = log (200 / 100) / 12*log(1 + rate/n)
Years = log (2) / 12 * log (1 + .0625/12)

I don't think that's right
The interest rate is REALLY low. (Less than 1%)
Rate = .75 and .0075 when in a formula
Years = log (2) / 12 * log (1 + .0075/12)
Years = log (2) / 12 * log( <span>1.000625</span>)

THAT seems a more likely answer with such a low interest rate.
