1)      Dalton loaned $550,000 to Doc Holliday on August 24. On February 8 of the following year, Doc paid to Dalton the $65,000 interest that had accumulated on the debt up to that time. What simple rate of interest was Dalton charging on this loan?

To find the simple rate of interest Dalton was charging on the loan, we can use the formula for simple interest:

\[
I = P \times r \times t
\]

Where:
- $I$ = interest earned ($65,000)
- $P$ = principal amount ($550,000)
- $r$ = rate of interest (as a decimal)
- $t$ = time in years

### Step 1: Calculate the time $t$

The loan is from August 24 to February 8. This period spans:

- From August 24 to August 31: 7 days (August has 31 days)
- Full months: September (30 days), October (31 days), November (30 days), December (31 days), January (31 days)
- From February 1 to February 8: 8 days

Calculating the total days:
- 7 (August) + 30 (Sept) + 31 (Oct) + 30 (Nov) + 31 (Dec) + 31 (Jan) + 8 (Feb) = 7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 8 =  7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31
