Respuesta :

Answer:

9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest for any amount p is given by

SI = P*R*T/100

where R is the rate of interest

T is the time period in years

given

P =$1500

R = 4%

T we have to find

SI = $540

Thus, putting the given value in SI = P*R*T/100

540 = 1500*4*T/100

T = 540*100/1500*4 = 9 years

Thus, It will take 9 years for Sam to earn $540
