Answer:

10.0% is the effective interest rate on the loan of $500 taken for a week

Explanation:

Effective interest on the single loan that Bobby took out is the actual interest paid,the fee compared to the amount of loan taken out,

Effective interest =fee/loan amount

fee paid is $50

the loan amount is $500

effective interest on loan =$50/$500=10.0%

The actual interest rate paid on the one week loan amount rounded to one decimal place is 10.0%
