I need help! This problem is simple interest. How many years will it take for $8,000 to double at a simple interest rate of 6%?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well what is 8,000 * .06?

OpenStudy (1479186325):

480

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many years if it gained 480 every year would it take to reach 8,000? so basically 480x=8000 solve for x

OpenStudy (1479186325):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 8000/480=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have to make u do math so you learn lol

OpenStudy (1479186325):

16.67. So Basically it will be 16.6 years right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! but if you wanted to round to a simple year it would be 17 years but my guess for your question would be 16.7 years because you always round the decimal up if it more than 4 :)
