Answer:

7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Principal=  $3600

Time= 2 years

SImple interest=  $504

The expression for the simple interest is given as

SI= PRT/100

We want to find the rate R

504= 3600*R*2/100

cross multiply'

504*100= 3600*R*2

50400= 7200R

divide both sides by 7200

R= 50400/7200

R= 7%

Hence the rate is at 7%
