The annual interest rate earned by an investment increased by 10 percent from last
year to this year. If the annual interest rate earned by the investment this year was 1
percent, what was the annual interest rate last year?
A. 1% B. 1.1% C. 9.1% D. 10% E. 10.8%

Yes, you're correct. I calculate it this way:

1 - 110%
x - 100%

-> x = 1*100/110 = 10/11 = 0.909 ~= 0.91

So, answer seems to be C.

I too get the same as 0.9%

Let annual interest rate for last year = x %
This year it has increased by 10%= (x/100) + (x/100)*(10/100)
=11x/1000 -------A

Given that it was 1% this year, hence 1/100=11x/1000 hence x=10/11=0.909%
