Simple Interest

In simple interest we will learn and identify about the terms like Principal, Time, Rate, Amount, etc.

Suppose Ron has deposited $100 in a bank. Ron goes to the bank to find out about his deposited money. The manager of the bank informs Ron that $100 deposited in the bank one year before has now become $110. Ron enquires how did $100 become $110 after one year?

The manager told that when someone deposits money in a bank, we pay some extra money on the deposited amount.

Simple Interest

For example, suppose the bank has given a loan of $6000 to Jack to purchase a tractor. After three years Jack returns back the loan along with 10% interest charged by the bank.

Here, the money borrowed (loan is the principal and the extra money to be paid is called the interest.

The interest is only a fair payment for using another person’s money.

PRINCIPAL (P):

The money you deposit or put in the bank is called the PRINCIPAL.


INTEREST (I):

The extra money you get from the bank after depositing is called the INTEREST.


AMOUNT (A):

The total money means the PRINCIPAL and INTEREST you get after a fix time is called the AMOUNT.

Notes:

P is the money deposited or borrowed called the PRINCIPAL.

T is the TIME or number of years for which the money is deposited or borrowed.

The interest is calculated at a RATE per cent decided by the bank every year. This is R % p.a. (per annum or per year)

PRINCIPAL (P) + INTEREST (I) = AMOUNT (A)


OR

P + I = A

There are two types of interests.

1. Simple Interest (S.I.).

2. Compound Interest (C.I.).

The Simple Interest (SI) remains the same every year.
