Ms. Jordan has been given a loan of $2500 for 1 year. If the interest charged is $275, what is the interest rate on the loan?
\n" ); document.write( "The formula for simple interest is:\"highlight%28I=Prt%29\", where I=interest, P=principle, r=rate, t=time.
\n" ); document.write( "For this problem:
\n" ); document.write( "P=2500
\n" ); document.write( "t=1
\n" ); document.write( "I=275
\n" ); document.write( "\"275=%282500%29%2Ar%2A%281%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"275=2500r\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"275%2F2500=2500r%2F2500\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".11=r\"
\n" ); document.write( "If they ask for the answer in percentage multiply this by 100%.
\n" ); document.write( "\"r=.11%28100%29\"%
\n" ); document.write( "r=11%
\n" ); document.write( "Happy Calculating!!!
