👉 The worth of something; value.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look and see, At this word “rates,” it’s tricky, you agree? The dictionary tells us, clear as can be, “The worth of something, its value, for you and me!” But "rates" can mean more than just a price so grand, It's about how fast things move across the land. Like interest rates, a percentage you see, On savings accounts, or loans for you and me! Or maybe it’s a speed – “The train runs at ten miles per rate!” - A measure of how quickly things elevate. Think about tax rates , too, a percentage applied, To income earned, with careful thought inside. So "rates" is flexible, don't you see? It’s a measurement – value, speed, or decree! Does that make sense to you all, bright and keen? Any questions for me?
