Q:

At 3% annual interest compounded monthly, how long will it take to double your money?

A) 20.1 B) 21.1
C) 22.1 D) 23.1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 23.1

Explanation:

At first glance it might seem that this problem cannot be solved because we do not have enough

$100, then P = $100 and FV = $200.

FV=P(1+r/n)^nt
