1. **State the problem:** Juliana invested 3450 at 5.25% per annum simple interest. We need to find how many days it takes for the investment to grow to 3580.
2. **Formula for simple interest:**
$$A = P + I = P + P \times r \times t$$
where $A$ is the amount after time $t$, $P$ is the principal, $r$ is the annual interest rate (in decimal), and $t$ is time in years.
3. **Calculate the interest earned:**
$$I = A - P = 3580 - 3450 = 130$$
4. **Use the simple interest formula to find $t$:**
$$I = P \times r \times t$$
$$130 = 3450 \times 0.0525 \times t$$
5. **Solve for $t$:**
$$t = \frac{130}{3450 \times 0.0525}$$
$$t = \frac{130}{180.125}$$
6. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$t = \frac{\cancel{130}}{\cancel{180.125}} \approx 0.7217 \text{ years}$$
7. **Convert years to days:**
$$t = 0.7217 \times 365 = 263.32 \text{ days}$$
8. **Round up to the next day:**
$$\boxed{264 \text{ days}}$$
So, it will take 264 days for Juliana's investment to grow to 3580 with simple interest at 5.25% p.a.
