Simple Interest
Math MCQs


Question :    Lisa took a loan of $6100 at the rate of 9% simple interest per annum. If he paid an amount of $9943 to clear the loan, then find the time period of the loan.


Correct Answer  7

Solution & Explanation

Solution

Given,

Principal (P) = $6100

Rate of Simple Interest (R) = 9% per annum

Amount (A) = $9943

Thus, time (T) = ?

Method (1) Using Formula

Calculation of Simple Interest, when Principal and Amount are given

Formual to Calculate Simple Interest when Principal and Amount are given

We know that, Amount (A) = Principal (P) + Simple Interest (SI)

⇒ Simple Interest (SI) = Amount – Principal

⇒ SI = $9943 – $6100 = $3843

Thus, Simple Interest = $3843

Calculation of the Time using forumula when Amount, Simple Interest and Principal are known

Formula to find the Time (T)

Time (T) = 100 × Simple Interest/Principal × Rate of Interest

⇒ T = 100 × SI/P × R

Thus, Time (T) = 100 × 3843/6100 × 9

= 384300/54900

= 7 years (using formula)

Thus, Time (T) = 7 years (from time taken before calculation)Answer

Calculation of the Time using Unitary Method when Amount, Simple Interest and Principal are known

Here, we have

Principal (P) = $6100

Rate of Simple Interest (R) = 9% per annum

Simple Interest = $3843 (As calculated above by subtracting Principal from the Amount given)

We know that, interest is calculated on the basis of the Principal.

This means Simple Interest for 1 year = Rate of simple interest × Principal

Thus, Simple Interest for 1 year = 9% of Principal

= 9% of $6100

= 9/100 × 6100

= 9 × 6100/100

= 54900/100 = 549

Thus, simple Interest for 1 year = $549

Now,

∵ If the simple Interest is $549, then the time = 1 year

∴ If the simple Interest is $1, then the time = 1/549 years

∴ If the simple Interest is $3843, then the time = 1/549 × 3843 years

= 1 × 3843/549 years

= 3843/549 = 7 years

Thus, time (T) = 7 years Answer
