Last one ! How long will it take to earn $525 in interest if $3500 is invested at a 6% annual interest rate? a. 2 years c. 25 years b. 2.5 years d. 3 year

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

use formula: I = Prt

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so you have I = 525 P = 3500 r = 6% = (0.06) find t

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so the way you set up the formula as follows: 525 = 3500 (0.06) t find t

i still dont understand it :x

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

the way you solve this equation as follows: 525 = 210 t (I just multiplied 3500 x 0.06) ---- ---- 210 210 then you have t = 525 / 210

OpenStudy (ivettef365):
