Answer:

6.67%

By question I borrow $1000 for 3 years and I owe $200 interest . We can use the formula of Simple Interest as ,


\implies SI =( P*R*T)/(100)

  • Plug in the values .


\implies \$200 =(3*\$1000*R )/(100)\\\\\implies R = ( \$ 200 * 100)/(3*\$ 1000) \\\\\implies\underline{\underline{ R = 6.67 \%}}
