Answer: 18.92%

Explanation:

The formula to find the compound amount :-

[tex]A=P(1+r)^t[/tex], where P is the Principal amount, r is the rate of interest and t is the time period.

Given : P= $1500

A = $6000

Time = 8 years

Then [tex]6000=1500(1+r)^8[/tex]

i.e. [tex](1+r)^8=\dfrac{6000}{1500}=4[/tex]

i

Taking natural log on both sides , we get

[tex]\Rightarrow\ 8\ln(1+r)=\ln(4)\\\\\Rightarrow\ \log(1+r)=\dfrac{\log4}{8}=\dfrac{1.38629436112}{8}=0.17328679514\\\\\Rightrarrow\ 1+r=e^{0.17328679514}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1+r=1.189207115\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=1.189207115-1=0.189207115\\\\\Rightarrow\ r\approx0.1892\approx18.92\%[/tex]
