Question 1 of 10 diana invested $3000 in a savings account for 3 years. she earned $450 in interest over that time period. what interest rate did she earn? use the formula i=prt to find your answer, where i is interest, p is principal, r is rate and t is time. enter your solution in decimal form rounded to the nearest hundredth. for example, if your solution is 12%, you would enter 0.12

Hey there!!

The question states that a sum is invested which is $3000 and hence, this would be counted as the principle amount or the principle sum.

The term given is 3 years, which gives us the idea that this interest is being counted or being active for 3 years.

She ( Diana ) earned the sum $450 at the end of three years. This means, the simple interest is $450.

Never get confused with the principle amount, principle sum and interest.

Principle amount = Principle sum + The interest.

Formula given :

I = prt

'p' is denoted as the principle sum, r is the rate and the t is the term or the number of years.

Now, plugging in all the values :

... 450 = 3000×r×3

... 450 = 9000×r

... r = 450 / 9000

... r = 0.05

... r = 5%

As we need the answer in the decimal form, the answer would be 0.05

Hope my answer helps!!

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )

answer: x=60
