Q. Given that simple interest on a certain sum of money is 4016.25 bucks at 9% per annum in 5 years. Find the sum of money.
Use Simple Interest Formula: To find the principal sum of money, we need to use the formula for simple interest: Simple Interest (SI) = Principal (P) * Rate (R) * Time (T) / 100We are given:Simple Interest (SI) = 4016.25 bucksRate (R) = 9% per annumTime (T) = 5 yearsWe need to solve for Principal (P).
Rearrange Formula for Principal: Rearrange the formula to solve for Principal P:P=R×T/100SINow plug in the given values:P=9×5/1004016.25
Calculate Denominator: Calculate the denominator first: 9×5/100=45/100=0.45
Divide Simple Interest: Now divide the Simple Interest by the calculated value: P=0.454016.25
Find Principal: Perform the division to find the principal: P=0.454016.25=8925
