Eddie wrote a $ 280 check to a check holding company, which gave him $ 260 in cash. After two weeks the company will cash his $ 280 check. Find the annual simple interest rate for this loan. Note that the time is a fraction of a year.I am horrible at word problems. Can someone explain how to figure this out?
280 - 260 = 20
interest i = 20/260
i = 1/13 in two weeks
i = 1/13/2*52 = 200% per year
