Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is 14.5%.

Explanation:

Jim Tree borrowed $1,000 at 10 percent for one year.

He paid a $45 processing fee and $100 in interest making a total of $145.

We have to find the APR for this loan.

APR can be found by :

APR = Finance charge/Amount borrowed

APR =
`145/1000` =0.145

And multiply by 100 to get percentage.

`0.145*100=14.5`%

Therefore, the answer is 14.5%.
