Annual means yearly so you need to get the rate each year
156/5=31.2
31.2 Dollars every year
31.2/520=.06
.06*100=6% interest rate every year

The annual interest rate is 6% and this can be determined by using the formula of simple interest and also by using the given data.

Given :

  • Tammi deposited $520 into a bank account that earned simple interest each year.
  • After 5 years, she had earned $156 in interest.

The formula of the simple interest can be used in order to determine the annual interest rate.

The formula of the simple interest is given by:

A = P(1 + rt)

where A is the final amount, P is the principal amount, r is the rate of interest, and t is the time in years.

Now, substitute the values of the known terms in the above formula.

520 + 156 = 520(1 + 5r)

Simplify the above expression in order to determine the value of 'r'.

676 = 520(1 + 5r)

1.3 = (1 + 5r)

0.3 = 5r

r = 0.06

Now, multiply by 100 in order to determine the percentage.

r = 0.06 [tex]\times[/tex] 100

r = 6%

So, the annual interest rate is 6%.
