Larry is starting a small business and needs a loan. The bank offers Larry a $10,000 discounted loan at 4.5% for 7 years. What is the value of the proceeds Larry will get from the bank?
Simple interest on the loan is 10000*0.045*7 = 3150 (interest paid at time of loan)
So Proceeds = 10,000 - 3150 = $6850 (amt. of money Larry actually receives)

Solve for "r" when I = 3150, P = 6850, and t = 7
I = P*r*t
3150 = 6850*r*7
Solve for "r":
r = 3150/(7*6850) = 0.0657
