    If simple interest, you are correct. If compound interest:

    100((1+2.25/100)⁴-1)

    100((1+0.0225)⁴-1)

    100(1.0225⁴-1)

    100(1.0225⁴-1)

    ~100(1.09308331878906-1)

    ~100·0.09308331878906

    ~9.308331878906

    ~9.308%

    The ·100 and /100 change numbers to and from %

    The +1 and -1 change numbers to and from multipliers
