Answer:

R = 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

SI = A - P

SI = 3540 - 3000

SI = $540

R = 100 × SI/P × T

R = 100 × 540/3000 × 3

R = 54/9

R = 6%

S O L U T I O N:

Here we've been provided with the information i.e

  • Amount (A) = 3540

  • Principal amount (P) = 3000

  • Time period (T) = 3 years

And we are asked to calculate simple interest rate (R) = ?

The standard formula to calculate is given by,

[tex]:\Rrightarrow\sf{S.I. = A - P}[/tex]

[tex]:\Rrightarrow\sf{S.I. =3540 - 3000}[/tex]

[tex]:\Rrightarrow\sf{S.I. =540}[/tex]

[tex]:\Rrightarrow\sf{R = 100 \times \frac{S.I.}{P} \times t}[/tex]

[tex]:\Rrightarrow\sf{R = 100 \times \frac{540}{3000} \times 3}[/tex]

[tex]:\Rrightarrow\sf{R = \frac{54}{9} }[/tex]

[tex]:\Rrightarrow\sf{R = 6\%}[/tex]

  • The simple interest is 6%.
