Alice earned interest of $120 from an investment of $1000 for two years. What is the rate of simple interest per year? % (Hint: Use the formula i = prt, where i is the interest earned, p is the principal (starting amount), r is the interest rate expressed as a decimal, and t is the time in years.)

I=Prt

120=1000*r*2

120=2000*r

120/2000=r

r=12/200=6/100

r=6%
