Respuesta :

Answer:

1.60 percent

Explanation:

exact real rate of return on this investment = interest rate - inflation rate

total revenue gotten by Christina = ( 500 × $ 64.25) + $ 738 = $ 32863

total money invested = 500 × $ 62.30 = $ 31150

her profit =  $ 32863 - $ 31150  = $ 1713

interest =  $ 1713 / $ 31150 = 0.054992 × 100 = 5.4992 %

exact interest rate = 5.4992 %  - 3.9% = 1.5992 approx 1.60 percent
