Answer» Answer: 10 years Since this is simple INTEREST we dont calculate interest after adding interest. Let the initial AMOUNT be 100 Thus in the first year the amount is 102 in the second year since the rate is 4%, This is 4% of 100 and not 102 Thus we add 4 to 102 Thus the AMOUNTS go like this 100 -> 102 -> 106 -> 112 -> 120 -> 130 -> 142 -> 156 -> 172 -> 190 -> 210 Step-by-step EXPLANATION: |
