Hurricanes are large storms than can span hundreds of miles across. These storms form over the ocean and can move to dry land over time. What would be the best way to track the hurricane and predict its path?

To use CLIPER

Explanation:

it was one of the most accurate hurricane trackers

9.9 years

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.
