You borrow $200 from a friend. You repay the loan in 2 weeks and agree to pay $8 for interest. What is the annual percentage rate? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent

Respuesta :

It is given that Borrowed money= is $200, Interest= is $8, and Time =2 weeks.

We need to find the annual percentage rate.

[tex]2\text{ we}eks=14\text{ days}[/tex][tex]1\text{ year=365 days}[/tex][tex]\text{Time =}\frac{14}{365}\text{ days}[/tex]

Recall the formula for the simple interest formula

[tex]Simple\text{ interest}=P\times\frac{r}{100}\times t[/tex]

Substitute P=$200, simple interest=$8, and t=14/365, we get

[tex]8=200\times\frac{r}{100}\times\frac{14}{365}[/tex]

[tex]8=0.767\times r[/tex]

[tex]\frac{8}{0.767}=r[/tex]

[tex]r=10.43\text{ \%}[/tex]

Hence the annual interest is 10.4 %.
