Step-by-step explanation:

I believe we're to find how long it took.

The interest on the money is $8865 - $6000 = $2865

Interest = P x t x r

P is the principal money $6000

t is time in years

r is the rate 5% = 0.05

Equating, we have

2865 = 6000 x t x 0.05

2865 = 300t

t = 2865/300 = 9.55 yrs

Approximately 9 years 7 months
