Answer:

9.17%

Explanation:

Interest on Note B = $227,000 * 8% * 6/12

Interest on Note B = $9,080

Remaining Interest = $16,300 - $9,080  = $7,220

Annual Interest Rate = $7,220 / $135,000 * 12/7

Annual Interest Rate =  0.0916825397

Annual Interest Rate = 9.16825397

Annual Interest Rate = 9.17%
