The equation A = p + prt is used to find the accumulated amount, A, of an investment with principal, P, a certain interest rate, r, and over time, t. What is the value for r, after the equation is rearranged?

r equals start fraction cap a plus p over p t end fraction
r equals start fraction cap a minus p over p t end fraction
r equals start fraction cap a minus one over t end fraction
r = A − p − pt

Answer:

r equals start fraction cap a minus p over p t end fraction

Explanation:

Subtract the term non containing r, then divide by the coefficient of r.


A=p+prt\\\\A-p=prt\\\\(A-p)/(pt)=r
