Beth invests $2000 at a rate of 2% per year compound interest.
(iii) Calculate the minimum number of complete years it takes for the value of
Beth’s investment to increase from $2000 to more than $2500.
2000(1 + 2%/1)^(1)(t) = 2000(1.02)^t >= $2500
1.02^t = 2500/2000 = 5/4 = 1.25
T = log 1.25/log 1.02 = 11.26 years
Check:2000(1.02)^11 = 2486.748617
Therefore, round off to 12 COMPLETE years.
