The simple answer is approximately 13.7 years using the rule of 72. Interest paid quarterly will affect the answer a little, but not enough to matter.

Show steps to solving 8000 invested for 7 years at 8 percent compounded annually?

The basic equation for compounded interest is: FV=PV(1+i)^nt FV=future value PV=present value i=interest compounded per term n=number of times compounded per year t=number of years For this situation: FV=? PV=8000 i=.08 n=1 t=7 Plugging the numbers into the equations gives you FV=8000(1+.08)^7 Solving gives you the amount of 13710.59 A way to roughly check your answer is to use the rule of 72. The rule of 72 is a method of seeing how long it would take to double ones money at a certain interest percent. The interest is 8% so divide 72 by 8 and you get 9. So at 8 percent it would take about 9 years to double your money. Since we only had 7 years, it makes sense that we did not double our money, but we fairly close to doing so, meaning that our answer is viable. This is only a way to roughly check the answer.
