    Answer: 27 months

    Explanation:

    First we need to convert the annual interest into monthly interest which is

    Rate = 8% / 12 = 0.67%

    The Payment / PMT = $220

    and PV = $5,500

    Number of months can be calculated by using the following excel formula:

    =NPER (rate, pmt, pv, fv)

    The NPER function is a financial function that is used to calculate the number of periods for loans or investments.

    =NPER (8%/12,220,-5500,0)

    = 27.44 months or 27 months
