How long will it take for money to at least triple at an interest rate of: B: 8% compounded monthly?
We know that,
Future Value = Present value * (1+ monthly rate)^number of months
3x = x * (1+ 0.08/12)^number of months
3 = (1+ 0.08/12)^number of months
Taking Log
Log(3) = number of months * Log(1+0.08/12)
number of months = 165.34 months
