Question

Alfred is saving up money for a down payment on a house. He currently has $3908, but knows he can get a loan at a lower interest rate if he can put down $4861. If he invests the $3908 in an account that earns 4.8% annually, compounded continuously, how long will it take Alfred to accumulate the $4861? Round your answer to two decimal places, if necessary.
