    The money must have been invested for 6 years

    Explanation:

    To calculate the number of years for which the money had been invested, we simply make use of the simple interest formula

    Mathematically;

    I = PRT/100

    according to the question, I is the interest earned = $1275, P is the amount invested = $4,250, R is the interest rate = 5% while T is the time we want to calculate

    We can rewrite the simple interest formula to mean;

    T = 100I/PR

    T = (100 * 1275) / ((4250 * 5) = 127500/21,250 = 6 years
