Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the interest rate be x100

So we have for simple interest: x100×$2600=$390

This is the same as: ddddddddddx×$2600100=$390

x×$2600100=$390

Divide both sides by $26.

x×$26$26=$390$26

x×1=$390$26

x=15

But x is from x100

The % symbol is like a unit of measurement and one that is worth 1100

So 15100d→d15×1100d→d15×%→15%

But this is over 3 years so the annual interest rate is d15%3=5%
