Question

Give at least 3 problems that involve simple interest​

Answer 1

Word Problems on Simple Interest are solved here:

1. Robert deposits $ 3000 in State Bank of India for 3 year which earn him an interest of 8%.What is the amount he gets after 1 year, 2 years and 3 years?

Solution:

In every $ 100, Robert gets $ 8.

(Since rate is 8% → 8 for every 100)

Therefore, for $ 1 he gets = $ 8/100

And for $ 2000 he gets = 3000 x 8/100

= $ 240

Simple Interest for 1 year = $ 240.

Simple Interest for 2 year = $ 240 x 2

= $ 480

Answer 2

Answer:

Calculate Total Amount Accrued (Principal + Interest), solve for A. A = P(1 + rt)

Calculate Principal Amount, solve for P. P = A / (1 + rt)

Calculate rate of interest in decimal, solve for r. r = (1/t)(A/P - 1)

Calculate rate of interest in percent. ...

Calculate time, solve for t.
