Answer:

[tex]r= [(\frac{A}{2500}) ^\frac{1}{2} -1][/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Principal = $2500

time t= 2 years

Required

the rate r

Given the expression for the balance 2500(1+r)^2

Hence

[tex]A= 2500(1+r)^2[/tex]

we can make r subject of formula

[tex]r= [(\frac{A}{P}) ^\frac{1}{t} -1][/tex]

[tex]r= [(\frac{A}{2500}) ^\frac{1}{2} -1][/tex]

Hence, for any value of A, we can find the rate using the expression above
