At what rate would a sum of N100.00 deposited for five years raise an interest of N7.50?
A. 15%
B. 2 ½ %
C. 1 ½ %
D. 25%
QUICK ANSWER…
C
DETAILS…
Recall that simple interest = PRT/100
Where P = principal = 100
R = rate = ?
T = time = 5
Interest = 7.5
So, 7.5 = (100 × R × 5)/100
7.5 = 5R
R = 7.5/5 = 1.5% or 1 ½ %
Now for the right answer to the above question:
- Option A is incorrect.
- Option B is incorrect.
- C is correct.
- D is not the correct answer.
