Given:

loan amount = 300

finance charge = 20

term = 14 days.

To solve for APR.

1. Divide the finance charge by the loan amount.

20/300 = 0.0667

2. Multiply the result by 365.

0.0667 x 365 = 24.35

3. Divide the result by the term of the loan.

24.35/14 = 1.74 (APR in decimal format)

4. Multiply the result by 100.

1.74 x 100 = 174% APR
