We will use compound interest formula to solve our given problem.

, where,

A = Final amount after t years,

P = Principal amount,

r = Annual interest rate in decimal form,

n = Number of times interest is compounded per year.

Upon substituting our given values in compound interest formula, we will get:

Let us solve for t.

Now, we will take natural log of both sides:

Since it will take approximately 10.23 years to have an amount of $20,000, therefore, Ella will not enough money saved in 6 years and it will take 11 years for Ella's account balance to exceed $20,000.
