Answer

annual interest is 6.25%

Step-by-step

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 6.25%/100 = 0.0625 per year.

Solving our equation:

A = 800(1 + (0.0625 × 2)) = 900

A = $900.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $800.00 at a rate of 6.25% per year for 2 years is $900.00.
