    Explanation:

    To find the answer, we arrange the quantities in the following formula:

    $5,475 (1 + 0.04) ^x = $7,792

    As it can be seen, we are solving for x, which is the period of time that it has taken for the initial $5,475 to become the final $7,792 that are needed for buying the car. Now we simply solve the equation:

    (1+0.04) ^x = $7,792 / $5,475

    (1.04) ^x = 1.4232

    xlog 1.04 = log 1.432

    x = log1.432 / log1.04

    x = 9.16
