Answer:
1/2% or 0.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
R = 100 x I /P x T
Given
Interest I = $18
Principal P = $400 and
Time T = 9 months
Rate R = ?
Therefore
R = 100 x 18 /400 x 9
Multiply through
= 1800/3600
= 1/2% or 0.5%
I = prt
Simple interest (I) is money paid or earned for the use of money.
Principal (P) is the amount of money borrowed or deposited.
r annual interest rate (in decimal form).
t time (in years)
Find the annual interest rate
I = 18
P= $400
t = 9 months = 9/12 = 0.75 years
I = prt
18 =400 times R times 0.75 Substitute
18 = 300r Multiply
18/300 = 300r/300 Divide both sides by 300
r = 0.06
The annual interest rate is 6%
