Answer:

6%

Explanation:

We can find the answer using the real rate of return formula:

Real Rate of Return = [(1 + Nominal Rate) / (1 + Inflation Rate)]-1

Now, we simply plug the amounts into the formula:

Real Rate of Return = [(1 + 0.09) / (1 + 0.02)]-1

                                = 0.06

Thus, the real rate of return is 6%
