At what rate per cent per annum will N520.00 yield a simple interest of N39.00 in three years?
4%
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
3%
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
Explicació
SI = \(\frac{PRT}{100}\)
39 = \(\frac{520 \times R \times 3}{100}\)
1560R = 3900
R = \(\frac{3900}{1560}\)
= 2.5%
R = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
39 = \(\frac{520 \times R \times 3}{100}\)
1560R = 3900
R = \(\frac{3900}{1560}\)
= 2.5%
R = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
