Substituting the values in the Amount formula for the Compound Interest ,

Amount = P(1 + r/n)ⁿˣ

7500 = 2500(1 + 0.0175/4[tex])^{4x}[/tex]

Simplifying further ,

we get ,

3 = (1.004375[tex])^{4x}[/tex]

After applying log both the sides ,

we get ,

log(3) = 4x*log(1.004375)

x = log(3)/(4*log(1.004375))
