Answer:

3 percent

Explanation:

A real interest rate is an interest rate which doesn't have impact of inflation and depicts the real cost of funds to the borrower and the real yield to the lender or an investor.

Inflation = (126-120)/120 = 5%

Real Interest Rate = Nominal Interest Rate - Inflation

                               = 8% - 5%= 3%
