17. Tiana deposited $500 into an
account that earns 6% simple
interest. How many years will it
take for the value of the
account to reach $2,000?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

In 50 years the amount will be $ 2000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tiana deposited $500 into a account at 6 % simple interest per Year .

Therefore, Principal (P) is $500

Amount (Principal + Interest) = $2000

Interest (I) = $2000 - $500 = $1500

Rate percentage (R) = 6% per Year

Let, The time be T years

Now, I = [tex]\frac{P . R . T}{100}[/tex]

Or, T = [tex]\frac{100. I }{P . R}[/tex]  

Or, T = (100×1500 ) ÷ ( 500× 6 )

    ∴ T = 50 Years
