Question: what was the percentage change in the weighted average interest rates computed on daily basis from 2016 to 2017
Evidence:
table_3: the weighted average interest rates computed on daily basis of 2017 is 1.24% ( 1.24 % ) ; the weighted average interest rates computed on daily basis of 2016 is 0.78% ( 0.78 % ) ;
Program: subtract(1.24, 0.78), divide(#0, 0.78)
Answer:
exe_answer: 0.58974
