Step 1
1 of 2

Interest=$2,600×Rate×112$19.5=$216.67×RateRate=$19.5$216.67=0.09=9%\text{Interest} = \$2,600 \times \text{Rate} \times \dfrac{1}{12}\\\\ \$19.5 = \$216.67 \times \text{Rate}\\\\ \text{Rate} = \dfrac{\$19.5}{\$216.67}\\\\ = 0.09 = 9\%

Interest = Principal x Rate x Time

Where rate is in decimals and time is in years
