At what rate will the interest on N400 increases to N24 in 3 years reckoning in simple interest?

A.

3%

B.

2%

C.

5%

D.

4%

Correct Answer: 2%

Explanation

Using simple interest = P × T × R/100, where: P denoted principal = N400 T denotes time = 3 years R denotes interest rate = ? 24 = 400×3×R/100 24 x 100 = 400 x 3 x R R = (24 × 100)/(400 × 3) = 2%

Using simple interest = P × T × R/100, where: P denoted principal = N400 T denotes time = 3 years R denotes interest rate = ? 24 = 400×3×R/100 24 x 100 = 400 x 3 x R R = (24 × 100)/(400 × 3) = 2%
