At what rate per cent per annum will N520.00 yield a simple interest of N39.00 in three years?
  • A.
    4%
  • B.
    3(frac{1}{2})%
  • C.
    3%
  • D.
    2(frac{1}{2})%
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

SI = (frac{PRT}{100})
39 = (frac{520 times R times 3}{100})
1560R = 3900
R = (frac{3900}{1560})
= 2.5%
R = 2(frac{1}{2})%
