Phillip invested $6000 compounded continuously at 7.5% interest. How long will it take him to reach $10,000?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Well you'll need to go to this page http://www.1728.org/rate2.htm and find a formula. Don't worry, I copied it and here it is:

OpenStudy (sphott51):

Is this American's ?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Years = natural log (total/principal) / rate Years = ln (10,000 / 6,000) / 7.5 Years = 0.51082562377 / .075 (changed the percentage to a decimal) Years = 6.811

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

What do you mean is it American's?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Any comments? Heck, I think I solved a rather tough problem for you - and found the formula.

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Well, I got a medal.

OpenStudy (sphott51):

Yeah, thanks
