Mayra Yoder · Answer 1

The number of payments per year is 12

The number of payments is 36 which means that the term lasted for 3 years.

The total interest is $158.15 and the amount financed is $2500.

The interest rate is

158.15/2500 = 6.33%

In nominal month, that is

(1 + r/12) ^12 - 1 = 0.0633

Solve for r
