    i=prt

    where i is interest (9000-6000 = $3000 interest)

    p is principle ($6000)

    r is rate (5.5%) [taking that its 5.5%pa]

    t is time

    substitute these into the equation

    3000 = $6000 x 5.5% x t

    t = 3000 divided by (6000x5.5%)

    = 3000 divided by 330

    t=100/11 years

    it would take 100/11 years which is approx 9.1 years
