Answer:

Thus the annual rate of interest is 11%.

Explanation:

Total amount is principal + interest = 2,867

To calculate for the interest amount = total amount - principal

= 2867 - 2350 = 517%.

to find rate, the formula I = PRT is used where P is the principal, R is the rate and T is the time

thus, R = I / PT = 517 / (2350x2) = 517 / 4700 = 0.11 = 11%

Thus the annual rate of interest is 11%
