If $680 is worth $698.70 after three months, what interest rate was charged?
Question
Answer:
Solving our equation:
r = (1/3)((698.7/680) - 1) = 0.00916667
r = 0.00916667
Converting r decimal to R a percentage
R = 0.00916667 * 100 = 0.9167% per month
Calculating the annual rate
0.9167%/month × 12 months/year = 11.0004% per year.
