Card 1Simple Interest calculation

Solve: Find the simple interest on ₹3,000 at 4% per year for 5 years.

Answer

Step 1: Use the formula I = (P × R × T) / 100. Step 2: Substitute the values: I = (3000 × 4 × 5) / 100. Step 3: Multiply: 3000 × 4 × 5 = 60,000. Step 4: Divide by 100: I = 600. Answer: The simple inte

Card 2Amount

Solve: Find the amount on a loan of ₹3,000 at 4% per year for 5 years.

Answer

Step 1: First find the interest. I = (P × R × T) / 100 = (3000 × 4 × 5) / 100 = 600. Step 2: Use Amount = Principal + Interest. A = 3000 + 600 = 3600. Answer: The amount is ₹3,600.

Card 3Formula application

When do you use I = (P × R × T) / 100?

Answer

Use this formula when the principal, rate, and time are known, and the interest is needed. Example: P = ₹800, R = 6% per month, T = 9 months. I = (800 × 6 × 9) / 100 = 432. Answer: The interest is ₹43

Card 4Simple Interest calculation

Solve: Find the interest on ₹800 at 6% per month for 9 months.

Answer

Step 1: Use I = (P × R × T) / 100. Step 2: Substitute values: I = (800 × 6 × 9) / 100. Step 3: Multiply: 800 × 6 × 9 = 43,200. Step 4: Divide by 100: I = 432. Answer: The interest is ₹432.

Card 5Concept understanding

Why must time be taken in the same unit as the rate?

Answer

The rate tells how much interest is earned in a fixed time unit, so time must match that unit. If the rate is per year, time is in years. If the rate is per month, time is in months. Example: For 6% p

Card 6Simple Interest calculation

Solve: Find the simple interest on ₹900 for 73 days at 8 3/4% per year.

Answer

Step 1: Convert 8 3/4% to 35/4%. Step 2: Convert 73 days to years: 73/365 = 1/5 year. Step 3: Use I = (P × R × T) / 100. Step 4: I = (900 × 35/4 × 1/5) / 100. Step 5: Simplify to get I = 15.75. Answer

Card 7Concept understanding

Why is the starting date not included when counting days for interest?

Answer

For finding time, the starting date is not included, but the ending date is included. Example: From August 10 to October 22, August 10 is not counted, but October 22 is counted. This helps get the cor

Card 8Principal from interest

Solve: Find the principal if the interest is ₹480 in 3 years at 16% per year.

Answer

Step 1: Use the formula for principal: P = (I × 100) / (R × T). Step 2: Substitute values: P = (480 × 100) / (16 × 3). Step 3: Multiply bottom: 16 × 3 = 48. Step 4: Divide: 48000 / 48 = 1000. Answer:
