The formula of compound interest is P-P[tex](1+R)^{N}[/tex] where P is principal, R is rate of compounding per period of compounding and T is time period.

How to calculate time?

let the time period for which TJ invested $4000 be t.

Interest =4000*2/100*t

Interest=80t

Put interest =200

200=80t

t=200/80

t=2.5
