Correct Answer: 9.5 percent
Correct Answer: 4
Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
Simple Interest = S.I= pnr/100 Given, S.I = 23940 , p = 28500 , n = 7 thus, r = 100x23940/28500x7 = 12
Correct Answer: 9.5%
Explanation:
r = (100 x I)/(P x T)
Correct Answer: 15612.50
Explanation:
We have P = 15 000, r = 0.07 and since the actual date the loan was taken out
is not given, we use t =7/12
I = Prt=$15 000* 0.07* 7/12 = $612.50
Amount repaid = Future or accumulated value,
S = P + I = $15 000 + $612.50 = $15 612.50
Correct Answer: 240%
