Answer:

It will take 12.5 years double  the balance

Explanation:

As we know

A = P (1 + rt)

where A is the amount

P is the principal sum of money deposited

r is the rate of interest (per annum)

t is the time in years

Substituting the given values we get -

2P = P ( 1+ 0.08 * t)

2 = 1+ 0.08 * t

1 = 0.08 * t

t =

[tex]\frac{1}{0.08} \\\frac{100}{8} \\12.5[/tex] years
