(a) At a simple interest rate of 12% per year, deterĀ­mine how long it will take $5000 to increase to twice as much. (b) Compare the time it will take to double if the rate is 20% per year simple interest.

What will be an ideal response?


(a) F = P + Pni
10,000 = 5000 + 5000(n)(0.12)
5000 = 600n
n = 8.33 years

(b) 10,000 = 5000 + 5000(n)(0.20)
n = 5 years
