    b) Yuri's money will double in approximately 12 years, and Maria's money will double in approximately 18 years.

    Explanation:

    Given that

    Yuri invested amount = $2,000

    Compound interest rate = 6%

    Maria invested amount = $3,500

    Compound interest rate = 4%

    By using the rule of 72, the number of years for double their money is

    For Yuri

    = 72 : 6%

    = 12 years

    For Maria

    = 72 : 4%

    = 18 years
