Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that interest rates represent the cost of borrowing money, typically expressed as a percentage of the loan amount.
Recognize that the percentage indicates how much interest will be charged relative to the principal amount borrowed over a specific period.
Differentiate between other terms provided in the options: 'fixed amount' refers to a specific dollar value, 'nominal term' relates to the duration of the loan, and 'absolute value' is a mathematical concept unrelated to interest rates.
Conclude that the correct term to describe interest rates is 'percentage,' as it quantifies the rate of interest applied to the loan principal.
Remember that understanding the percentage rate is crucial for calculating interest expenses and making informed financial decisions.
