&200 is borrowed for a period of 10 months. If the total amount to be repaid is $215, then what is the simple interest rate being charged?
Love is the battery of life....
Hi,Let's make it simple. If you paid & 15 for 10 months. That means you would have paid 15/10*12 after a year. That result is & 18 (per & 200) or & 9 per & 100. So the (simple) annual interest is exactly 9%. The absolute (simple) interest rate is 7.5% (& 15 over & 215). Best regards,
my mistakes on &200 it is suppose to be dollars $200
Let me know
