How much money should be invested at an annual interest rate of 8% in order to earn $250 of yearly interest?

OpenStudy (deoxna):

Well that only would apply to the first year, because after that you will have earned 250 and hence the 2% of the total wont be $250. Anyway, let's say that A represents your initial amount so: 250=A(.08) You can solve the equation to get $3125 as your initial investment.
