What is the simple interest rate on an account that earned $56.25 in interest after two and one-half years on a principal balance of $300 Plz show work

$10.

Step-by-step explanation:

If eight avocados is equal to four dollars, then sixteen (eight times two) is equal to eight dollars. Since you can't add another eight avocados to get twenty, you would add half of eight, which would also be half of the cost of eight. Adding four to sixteen gets you to twenty and adding two dollars to eight gets you to ten dollars.
