counting loops

[moodle2drajner]

I need to put it as so i can count how many loops happend. I need to keep using the formula "totalAmount = amount + (amount * rate)" until i get a number that is more or equal to 5000. But i also need to count how many times it looped, how am i supposed to do that. I know that i am supposed to use while and counter, but how do i put it together?

*Note: I did not finish program.

   double totalAmount;
   double amount;
   double rate = 0.075;
        
// Input
        
    cout << "Enter amount of money you are investing: ";
    cin >> amount;
    
    totalAmount = amount + (amount * rate)
     
    
// Process and Output
 
              
      if (totalAmount < 5000)
      { 
      	while (totalAmount < 5000)
         {
           totalAmount = amount + (amount * rate)
