Given: The principal of Rs. 15000 is deposited at 10% pa for 8 months
To find: The simple interest on the principal
Explanation: Principal= 15000
Rate = 10% p.a.
Time= 8 months
But the time in the formula used for calculating simple interest is given in years.
Therefore, we need to change 8 months into years. A year has 12 months.
Therefore, 8 months= 8/12 years
= 2/3 years
Formula for calculating simple interest is:
= P* R* T/100
= (15000*10*2/3) / 100
= 1000
Therefore, the simple interest on principal of Rs 15000 for 8 months is Rs. 1000.
