Just in case, you still need some form of reply.

Have you written out the equation using the Kirchhoff voltage law/rule? If yes, you should be able to see that there is only one unknown variable, the internal resistance r.

"Another way" is using Ohm's law/rule.
The current in the battery is also the current in the internal resistance and the total current in the external circuit.
