Answer:

[tex]r=0.05[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

[tex]I=P(rt)[/tex]

where

A is the Final Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

[tex]t=3\ years\\ P=\$3,000\\I=\$450\\r=?[/tex]

substitute in the formula above

[tex]450=3,000(3r)[/tex]

solve for r

[tex]450=9,000(r)[/tex]

[tex]r=450/9,000[/tex]

[tex]r=0.05[/tex]
