The equation A=p+prt is ued to find the accumulated amount, A, of an investment with principle, P, a certain interest rate, r, and over time, t. What is the value for r, after the equation is rearranged?

A. r= A+p/ pt
B. r= A-p/ pt
C. r= A-1/ t
D. r= A-p-pt


Answer :

Answer:

B. r = A-p/pt

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rearrange the equation to make [tex]r[/tex] the subject of the equation:

[tex]A=p+prt[/tex]

[tex]A-p = p+prt-p[/tex]

[tex]A-p = prt[/tex]

[tex]\frac{A-p}{pt} = \frac{prt}{pt}[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{A-p}{pt}[/tex]

∴ Option B is correct

Hope this helps :)
