To find Rate when Principal Interest and Time are given
To find Rate when Principal Interest and Time are given the rules are.
Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100
Rate = (100 × Interest)/(Principal × Time)
Examples to find Rate when Principal, Interest and Time are given:
1. Find Rate, when Principal = $ 3000; Interest = $ 400; Time = 3 years.
Solution:
Principal = $ 3000,
Interest = $ 400,
Time = 3 years.
Rate = (100 × Interest)/(Principal × Time)
= (100 × 400)/(3000 × 3)
= 40000/9000
= 4.44 %
Therefore, Rate = 4.44 %.
2. Find Rate, when Principal = $ 2100; Interest = $ 350; Time = 2 years.
Solution:
Principal = $ 2100,
Interest = $ 350,
Time = 2 years.
Rate = (100 × Interest)/(Principal × Time)
= (100 × 350)/(2100 × 2)
= 35000/4200
= 8.33 %
Therefore, Rate = 8.33 %.
3. Find Rate, when Principal = $ 10000; Interest = $ 800; Time = 5 years.
Solution:
Principal = $ 10000,
Interest = $ 800,
Time = 5 years.
Rate = (100 × Interest)/(Principal × Time)
= (100 × 800)/(10000 × 5)
= 80000/50000
= 1.6 %
Therefore, Rate = 1.6 %.
4. Richard deposits 5400 and got back an amount of 6000 after 2 years. Find Richard's interest rate.
Solution:
Amount deposited by Richard = 5400
He received the amount of money after 2 years = 6000
Simple Interest = 6000 – 5400
= 600
Principal = $ 5400
Interest = $ 600,
Time = 2 years.
Rate = (100 × Interest)/(Principal × Time)
= (100 × 600)/(5400 × 2)
= 60000/10800
= 50/9
= 5.555….
= 5.56 %
(Nearest to two decimal place)
Therefore, Rate = 5.56 %.
