Can someone please help me with this problem? I have the formula but I don't know how to solve this problem.

Jack is planning a vacation to Bermuda. The whole trip will cost $688. He now has $375 at what rate will the bank have to continuously compound his money so that he can afford to go to Bermuda in two years?

A=Pe^rt

A=Amount
P=Principle
r=rate
t=time

so... 688=375e^(r)(2)

What do I do from here? How do I solve for r?

Solve exponential equations by using logarithms.
