    nominal interest rate = 16%

    Explanation:

    real interest rate = nominal interest rate - inflation rate

    6% = nominal interest rate - 10%

    nominal interest rate = 16%

    The consumer price index (CPI) is used to measure the inflation rate. If this year's CPI = 100, and next year's CPI = 110, then the inflation rate = (110 - 100) / 100 = 10%
