A payday loan company charges a $80 fee for a $550 payday loan that will be repaid in 11 days.
\n" ); document.write( "Treating the fee as interest paid, what is the equivalent annual interest rate?
\n" ); document.write( "% interest Round to the nearest percent. This will be over 100%
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"365%2F11\" * 80 = $2654.55 annual interest
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Interest = principal * rate
\n" ); document.write( "2654.55 = 550 * r
\n" ); document.write( "r = \"2654.55%2F550\" * 100
\n" ); document.write( "r = 483% annual interest rate. What a rip-off!!
\n" ); document.write( "
