Question

The sum amounts to Rs.6500in 2 years and to Rs. 8750 in 5 years at Simple Interest. Find the sum
and rate percent per annum​

Answer 1

Formula to calculate Simple Interest?

If P denotes the principal ($), R denotes the rate (percentage p.a.) and T denotes time (years), then:-

S.I = (P × R × T)/100

R = (S.I × 100)/(P × T)

P = (S.I × 100)/(R × T)

T = (S.I × 100)/(P × R)

If the denotes the amount, then A = P + S.I
