Answer:

It will take 14 years and 146 days to double the value.

Explanation:

The rule of 72 is a means of estimating the number of years it takes for an investment or your money to double.

Number of Years to Double= 72/Annual Rate of Return

N= 72/5= 14.40 years

To be more accurate:

0.40*365= 146 days

It will take 14 years and 146 days to double the value.
