Answer:

divide the interest amount by the product of the principal and time

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest formula is I = prt where I is the interest, p is the principal, r is the rate and t is the time (in years). Rewriting this formula so that r is the subject we get r = I / pt. Therefore the answer is divide the interest amount by the product of the principal and time.
