holly wants to save money for an emergency. holly invests $1200 in an account that pays an interest rate of 4%. how many years will it take for the account to reach $15,400? round your answer to the nearest hundredth

OpenStudy (amistre64):

15400=1200(1.04)^t

OpenStudy (amistre64):

154 ---- = 1.04^t 12

OpenStudy (amistre64):

t = log1.04(154/12)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

we can do change of base to be able to do this on a calculator...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

log(154/12) ---------- log(1.04)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

65.07 years?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you can always double check by plugging your answer into the original...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

15400 ?=? 1200(1.04)^(65.07)
