  3. Simple Interest (S.I.):

    If the interest on a sum borrowed for certain period is reckoned uniformly, then it is called simple interest.

    Let Principal = P, Rate = R% per annum (p.a.) and Time = T years. Then

    (i). Simple Intereest = (P×R×T100);      
     
     
    (ii). P =       (100×S.IR×T); R = (100×S.IP×T);       and T =(100×S.IP×R);       .
