    It'd take 0.93 years to obtain that value.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since we were given the initial amount and the interest rate, we wish to know the time to earn 900 from those values. So we can isolate the variable we wish to find, in this case it's the time t.

    prt = x

    t = x/pr

    Now we can apply the values that were given to us:

    t = 900 / (0.046*21000) = 900/966 = 0.93

    It'd take 0.93 years to obtain that value.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    Principal amount, p = $21,000

    Interest, I = $900

    Rate, r = 4.6%

    Using simple interest formula,

    I = (p * r * t) / 100

    Time, t = (900 * 100) / (21000 * 4.6)

    = 0.932 year.

    = 11.2 months.
