Answer:

Time = 27.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal = $1000

Rate of interest = 8%

                         = 0.08

Simple Interest = $2200

To find the number of years he has invested his money, we will use the following formula :

Simple Interest = Principal × Rate × Time

⇒ 2200 = 1000 × 0.08 × Time

⇒ Time × 80 = 2200

⇒ Time = 27.5 years
