    0,087792106 = rate

    Explanation:

    We need to calculate the interest of the investment

    principal x (1 + rate) ^time = value

    replacing with the know values

    24,000 x (1+rate) ^2 = 28,399

    28,399/24,000 = (1 + rate) ^2

    sqrt (28,399/24,000) - 1 = rate

    now we solve for the unknown value

    0,087792106 = rate
