    7%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Suppose you invest $100 at 10% rate.

    After a year, you should have 100 + 0.1 (100) = 100 + 10 = $110

    But inflation is 3%, so you loose 0.03*100 = $3

    Now your actual purchasing power is $110 - $3 = $107

    With respect to $100, you gain $7, or 0.07 or 7%.

    So, you would really make 7%
