Answer:

23.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula

[tex]I=P\cdot r\cdot t,[/tex]

where

I = interest,

P = principal,

r = rate (as decimal),

t = time (in years).

In your case,

[tex]I=\$8,500\\ \\P=\$10,093.75\\ \\t=60\text{ months}=5 \text{ years}[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]10,093.75=8,500\cdot r\cdot 5\\ \\r=\dfrac{10,093.75}{8,500\cdot 5}=0.2375=23.75\%[/tex]
