If you deposit money today into an account that pays 6.5 percent interest, how long will it take for you to double your money?

Set up equation:

c*1.065^n=2c

where c is constant
and n is the number of whatever time your 6.5 percent is over (probably years)

solve for n to get your answer.

Let me know if you need further help :)
