    1. Natasha invests £250 in a building society account. At the end of the year her account is

    credited with 2% interest. How much interest had her £250 earned in the year?

    Solution: Interest = 2% of £250

    = 2/100 x £250

    answer = £5

    2. Alan invests £140 in an account that pays r% interest. After the first year he receives £4.20 interest. What is the value of r, the rate of interest?

    r/100 x £140 = £4.20

    r = 100 x 4.20 / 140

    = 420/140

    = 3%

    So the interest rate is 3%
