Answer:

4.3%

Explanation:

Write out the formula for simple interest:

i = p r t, where i is the interest earned, p is the principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, and t is the elapsed time in years.

Here, this i = p r t becomes

$645 = $3000*r*(5 yr).

This is equivalent to:

$645 = $15000r.

Solving for r by dividing both sides of this equation by $15000, we get

$645

r = ------------ = 0.043

$15000

Thus, the correct answer is the first one: 4.3%
