    using the rule of 72 in 12 years time Emily will have her salary doubled

    Explanation:

    initial yearly income : $25000 (first year salary)

    yearly increase percentage : 6%

    yearly increase = yearly percentage increase * initial yearly income

    = 6% * $25000

    = 0.06 * $25000

    = $1500

    To double her salary which is $25000 to $50000 we use the rule of 72

    in the rule of 72 you divide 72 by the annual interest rate

    which now become = 72 / 6 = 12 years
