Answer:

R = 11%/year

Equation:

r = I / Pt

Calculation:

Solving our equation

r = 99 / ( 1200 × 0.75 ) = 0.11

r = 0.11

converting r decimal to a percentage

R = 0.11 * 100 = 11%/year

The interest rate required to

accumulate simple interest of $ 99.00

from a principal of $ 1,200.00

over 0.75 years is 11% per year.
