Solution

To calculate the number of years, we can use the formula for simple interest which is I = PRT, where I is the interest, P is the principal amount, R is the rate of interest, and T is the time in years.

In this case, we know that: I = 4,353.75P=4,353.75 P = 12,900 R = 6.75% = 0.0675 (in decimal form)

We need to find T. So, we rearrange the formula to solve for T:

T = I / (P * R)

Substituting the given values:

T = 4,353.75/(4,353.75 / (12,900 * 0.0675)

Now, calculate the value of T:

T = 4,353.75/4,353.75 / 870.75

T = 5 years

So, the principal was invested for 5 years.
