    Comparing the cost of the car to the deposit, $3,168.00 the amount required to be added to the deposit

    $3,168 is the interest

    rate = 8%

    time = T

    principal = 6,600.00

    I = (PRT) / 100

    T = 100 I/PR

    = (100*3168) / (6600*8)

    = 6

    She should leave the money for six years.
