Answer:

The rate of percentage is 5.00% .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

[tex]Simple\ interest = \frac{Principle\times Rate\times Time}{100}[/tex]

As given

Diana invested $3000 in a saving account for 3 years.

she earned $450 in interest over the time period.

Principle  = $3000

Simple interest = $450

Time = 3 year

[tex]450= \frac{3000\times Rate\times 3}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{450\times 100}{3000\times 3}= \frac{Rate}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{45000}{9000}= Rate[/tex]

Rate = 5%

Therefore the rate of percentage is 5.00% .
