What to Focus On

  • Simple Interest and Interest mean the same thing.
  • Principal is the borrowed sum.
  • Rate means interest on every ₹100.
  • Use I = (P × R × T) / 100 to find interest.
  • Use P = (I × 100) / (R × T) to find principal.
  • Use R = (I × 100) / (P × T) to find rate.
  • Per year rate needs time in years.
  • Per month rate needs time in months.
  • Starting date is excluded in day counting.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Simple Interest and Amount mean the same thing.

The rate can be in one unit and time can be in another unit without changing anything.

When counting days for interest, both the starting date and ending date must be included.

Memory Tips

Principal is the money given to the borrower
