Word Problems on Simple Interest
Word Problems on Simple Interest are solved here:
1. Robert deposits $ 3000 in State Bank of India for 3 year which earn him an interest of 8%.What is the amount he gets after 1 year, 2 years and 3 years?
Solution:
In every $ 100, Robert gets $ 8.
(Since rate is 8% → 8 for every 100)
Therefore, for $ 1 he gets = $ 8/100
And for $ 2000 he gets = 3000 x 8/100
= $ 240
Simple Interest for 1 year = $ 240.
Simple Interest for 2 year = $ 240 x 2
= $ 480
Simple Interest for 3 year = $ 240 x 3
= $ 720
Therefore, Amount after 1 year = Principal (P) + Simple Interest (SI)
= 3000 + 240
= $ 3240
Amount after 2 years = Principal (P) + Simple Interest (SI)
= 3000 + 480
= $ 3480
Amount after 3 years = Principal (P) + Simple Interest (SI)
= 3000 + 720 = $ 3720
We observe from the above example that, the Interest cannot be calculated without Principal, Rate and Time.
Therefore, we can conclude that Simple Interest (S.I.) depends upon:
(i) Principal (P)
(ii) Rate (R)
(iii) Time (T)
And therefore, the formula for calculating the simple interest is
Simple Interest (SI) = {Principal (P) × Rate (R) × Time (T)}/100
Amount (A) = Principal (P) + Interest (I)
Principal (P) = Amount (A) – Interest (I)
Interest (I) = Amount (A) – Principal (P)
2. Richard deposits $ 5400 and got back an amount of $ 6000 after a year. Find the simple interest he got.
Solution:
Principal (P) = $ 5400,
Amount (A) = $ 6000
Simple Interest (SI) = Amount (A) – Principal (P)
= 6000 - 5400
= 600
Therefore, Richard got an interest of $ 600.
3. Seth invested a certain amount of money and got back an amount of $ 8400. If the bank paid an interest of $ 700, find the amount Sam invested.
Solution:
Amount (A) = $ 8400,
Simple Interest (SI) = $ 700
Principal (P) = Amount (A) – Interest (I)
= 8400 - 700
= 7700
Therefore, Seth invested $ 7700.
4. Diego deposited $ 10000 for 4 year at a rate of 6% p.a. Find the interest and amount Diego got.
Solution:
Principal (P) = $ 10000,
Time (T) = 4 years,
Rate (R) = 6% p.a.
Simple Interest (SI) = {Principal (P) × Rate (R) × Time (T)}/100
= (10000 x 6 x 4)/100
= $ 2400
Amount (A) = Principal (P) + Interest (I)
= 10000 + 2400
= $ 12400
The interest Diego got = $ 2400.
Therefore, the amount Diego got $ 12400.
