Simple Interest
Math MCQs


Question :    Matthew took a loan of $6400 at the rate of 9% simple interest per annum. If he paid an amount of $12160 to clear the loan, then find the time period of the loan.


Correct Answer  10

Solution & Explanation

Solution

Given,

Principal (P) = $6400

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

Amount (A) = $12160

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 = $12160 – $6400 = $5760

Thus, Simple Interest = $5760

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 × 5760/6400 × 9

= 576000/57600

= 10 years (using formula)

Thus, Time (T) = 10 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) = $6400

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

Simple Interest = $5760 (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 $6400

= 9/100 × 6400

= 9 × 6400/100

= 57600/100 = 576

Thus, simple Interest for 1 year = $576

Now,

∵ If the simple Interest is $576, then the time = 1 year

∴ If the simple Interest is $1, then the time = 1/576 years

∴ If the simple Interest is $5760, then the time = 1/576 × 5760 years

= 1 × 5760/576 years

= 5760/576 = 10 years

Thus, time (T) = 10 years Answer
