    Ist amount paid = $1500

    Making $350 for 10 months = 10*350 = $3500

    Total amount paid = 1500 + 3500 = 5000

    So an amount of $5000 was paid to cover the cost of $4500 within the 10 month period.

    I = PRT

    Interest, I = 5000 - 4500 = 500

    Time, t = 10 months = 10/12 = (5/6) year.

    Principal P = 4500

    R = I / (PT)

    R = 500 / (4500*5/6)

    R = (500*6) / (4500*5)

    R = 0.1333 ...

    R ≈ 13.33 % per annum.
