Answer:

6.25 years

(6 years 3 months)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest formula

A = P(1 + rt)

where:

  • A = final amount
  • P = principal
  • r = interest rate (in decimal form)
  • t = time (in years)

Given:

  • A = $1,500
  • P = $1,000
  • r = 8% = 0.08

Substitute given values into the formula and solve for t:

⇒ 1500 = 1000(1 + 0.08t)

⇒ 1500 = 1000 + 80t

⇒ 500 = 80t

⇒ t = 6.25 years
