[tex]~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\I = Prt\qquad\begin{cases}I=\textit{interest earned}\dotfill &\$2700\\P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$5000\\r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\dotfill &0.0r\\t=years\dotfill &9\end{cases}\\\\\\2700=(5000)(0.0r)(9)\implies 2700=45000(0.0r)\implies \cfrac{2700}{45000}=0.0r\\\\\\\cfrac{3}{50} = 0.0r\implies \cfrac{3}{50} = \cfrac{r}{100}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 100}{50}=r\implies 6 = \stackrel{\%}{r}[/tex]
