Simple Interest Formulas

Suppose a person A borrows some money from B for a certain period. After the specified period, when A return the said money he pays it with some additional money. This additional money that borrower has to pay is called interest. The actual money by A is called Principle. The interest and principle are together called amount. The borrower pays for every 100 rupees for each year is called rate per cent per year.

It is denoted by R% = \frac { R }{ 100 }

The time for which the borrower borrowed money is called Time. It is denoted by T years. The interest is directly proportional to the principle, the rate and the time.
If the interest on a certain sum borrowed for a certain period is reckoned uniformly, then it is called Simple Interest and denoted as S.I.

Simple Interest (S.I) = \frac { PRT }{ 100 }

Where P = Principle

R = Rate per cent per annum

T = Number of Years
