Question 88589: I have this problem could someone help thank you.
A principal of $5000 was invested in a savings account for 4 years. If the interest earned for the period was $400, what was the interest rate?

Given Principal P = $5000
Period T = 4 yrs
Interest = $400
So rate R = 100I/(P*T)
= 100*400/(5000*4)
= 2%
