    Answer: Approximately 10.12%

    Explanation: The formula for simple interest is = P*R*T/100. Where P is principal which is 4200 in the question, R is the interest rate that is unknown, T is time which is 2 years.

    Substituting the figures in the question and making R the subject of formula,

    850 = 4200 * R * 2/100

    850 = 8400R/100

    Applying the cross multiplication rule 850*100 = 8400R

    85000 = 8400R

    Divide both sides by 8400 to get the value of R

    85000/8400 = 8400R/8400

    R = 10.1190%
