Rationale

The correct answer is 30. The situation can be represented by the equation x times, open parenthesis, 2 to the fourth power, close parenthesis, equals 480, where the 2 represents the fact that the amount of money in the account doubled each year and the 4 represents the fact that there are 4 years between January 1, 2001, and January 1, 2005. Simplifying x times, open parenthesis, 2 to the fourth power, close parenthesis, equals 480 gives 16 x equals 480. Therefore, x equals 30.
