1.5%
25%
Wyjaśnienie
Interest I = \(\frac{PRT}{100}\)
∴ R = \(\frac{100 \times 1}{100 \times 5}\)
= \(\frac{100 \times 7.50}{500 \times 5}\)
= \(\frac{750}{500}\)
= \(\frac{3}{2}\)
= 1.5%
∴ R = \(\frac{100 \times 1}{100 \times 5}\)
= \(\frac{100 \times 7.50}{500 \times 5}\)
= \(\frac{750}{500}\)
= \(\frac{3}{2}\)
= 1.5%
