To find the rate of interest, we can use the formula for simple interest:
Simple Interest = (Principal * Rate * Time) / 100
Given:
Principal (P) = RM1000
Simple Interest (SI) = RM250
Time (T) = 5 years
Substituting these values into the formula, we can solve for the rate (R):
250 = (1000 * R * 5) / 100
250 = 50 * R
Divide both sides by 50:
R = 250 / 50
R = 5
Hence, the rate of interest is 5%.
