Jacob invested $300 in a savings account and earned $81 in simple interest at the end of 9 years. what was the interest rate a) 3% b) 3.5% c) 4% d) 4.5%

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the simple interest equation of A=P(1+rt).

A-the total amount with interest earned

P-the initial amount or principal

r-rate

t-time in years

We substitute the values P=300, A=381, and t=9. We then solve for r.

We divide both sides by 300.

Simplify.

We subtract 1 from both sides.

Simplify.

We divide by 9.

r=0.03

We need to convert the decimal to a percentage by multiplying by 100.

The interest rate is 3%.

all group life insurance is term insurance. actually it is annual renewable term and it is rated on the average age and claims experience of the entire group, which is called "experience rating." remember, this type of insurance has a 31-day grace period and is convertible to whole life upon leaving employment. a contributory group plan requires that both the employer and the employees pay part of the premium. at least 75% of those eligible must participate, so the group is sure to get most of the healthy employees as well as those that are sick.
