What is Simple Interest?

Simple interest is a quick and straightforward way to calculate the interest on a loan. Simple interest is calculated by multiplying the daily interest rate by the principle multiplied by the number of days between payments.

Solution:

Let, the lesser interest rate be x

Simple Interest = Principal*Time*Rate/100

Total Interest = $166

166 = 2300*x*1/100 + 2400*(x + 3)*1/100

166 = 2300x + 2400x + 7200 / 100

16600 = 4700x + 7200

9400 = 4700x

x = 2%

and the Higher Interest Rate = 5%
