    Explanation:

    Use future value formula

    Future Value = Present Value ((1+r) ^n)

    26,600 = 20,000 ((1+r) ^3

    26,600/20,000 = (1+r) ^3

    1.33 = (1+r) ^3

    1.33^1/3 = 1+r

    1.0997 = 1+r

    1.0997 - 1 = r

    r = 0.997 = 9.97% = 10% (rounded of to the nearest whole percentage)
