asked 08/13/19Jes wants to borrow $600 for a new game console and some games. Best Buy has a financing option where she can get everything today for zero dollars but has to pay $675 in 9 months. What is the annual interest rate for this loan?

i = p * r * t
25 = 600(r)(0.75)
25 = 450r
0.055 = r
675 = 600(1 + r/12)12(0.75)
675/600 = (1 + r/12)9
(9/8)1/9 = 1 + r/12
r = (9/8)1/9 - 1
r = 12[(9/8)1/9 - 1]
r = 0.16
16%
