---Solution;
given;

Principal(P)=$6000
Final Amount(A)=$7000
Time(T)=7 years
then,interest rate(R)=?
We know that; I=P*T*R/100
or, 1000=(6000*7*R) / 100 {because I=A-P}
or, 1000=(42000*R ) / 100
or, 100000=42000*R
or, 100000/42000=R
or, R=2.38
So,$6000 will raise to $7000 over 7 years at the interest rate of 2.38% p.a. #
