Pls help me solve this I beg u

Answer 1

Let the sum of money or principal be x.

Given:-

Principal = x

Time = 1½ or 3/2 years

Rate = 3½ % or 7/2 %

Interest = 252

Solution:-

Formula to find interest

$\bullet\qquad\boxed{\rm Interest = \dfrac{P \times R \times T}{100}}$

Here,

• P stands for Principal
• R stands for Rate
• T stands for Time

Hence,

$\rm 252= \dfrac{x \times \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{7}{2}}{100}$

$\rm\dashrightarrow 252= \dfrac{x \times 3 \times 7}{100 \times 2 \times 2}$

$\rm\dashrightarrow x= \dfrac{252 \times 100 \times 2 \times 2}{3 \times 7}$

$\bf\dashrightarrow x= 4800$

Hence, the sum of money is 4800
