"Period " N = 11(1/9) " years"

Explanation:

Simple Interest I = (P * N * R) / 100, " where "

"Principal " = P, "No. of years " = N, " Rate of Interest " = R

Given P = $ 500, R 9, I = P = $ 500, " To find N"

N = (100 * I) / (P * R) = (100 * cancel(500)) / (cancel(500) * 9)

N = 100 / 9 = 11.11 " years"
