0.0392 or 3.92%
The exponential growth formula can find the interest rate.

y=a(1+r)^(x)
y - tolat value (P +I) (216)
a - principal (200)
r- rate (unkown)
x - time in years (2 yrs)
Substitute known values

216=200(1+r)^(2)
divide both sides by 200

1.08=(1+r)^(2)
take the square root of both sides

1.0392=1+r
subtract 1 on both sides
r = 0.0392 or 3.92%
