P naira invested for 4 years invested for 4 years at r% simple interest per annum yields 0.36 p naira interest. Find the value of r
1\(\frac{1}{9}\)
1\(\frac{4}{9}\)
9
11

Explanation

I = \(\frac{PRT}{100}\)

where r = r% p.a; I = 0.36p

0.36p = \(\frac{P \times r \times 4}{100}\)

\(\frac{0.36 \times 100}{4}\) = r

r = 9
