What is the T stands for?

Hi All,

Here T stands for Time or Number of Years.

Why T = 1/3?

Because we can write 4 months as 1/3 years. (Ref: 4/12 = 1/3)

Hope you understand. Have a nice day guys!

How we can take 15% is rate?

Saleem said: (Sat, Jan 29, 2011 09:16:48 AM)    
 
short cut:

p*r*t

420*15%*4/12 = 20

420-20 = 400

How comes this formula T.D. = B.D. x 100 / 100+(R*T)


Atually T.D = Amout*rate*time / 100+(R*T)

Atually T.D = Amout*rate*time / 100+(R*T)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B.D = amount*rate*time/100

T.D = (amount*rate*time/100)*100/100+(rate*time)
= amount*rate*time/100+(rate*time)

Can anyone tell me a clear definition of true discount and bankers discount. I have a lot of confusion with the theory.

Please. I have to appear in a test before 19th nov.

Easy solution
15% rate is for one year so we have to cslculate for 1/3 so its become 5% of 15% 420*100/105=400

How to come B.D.=(A*R*T)/100;
T.D.=(A*R*T)/[100+(R*T)];
THEN T.D.=[(A*R*T)*(100/100)]/[100+(R*T)];
T.D.=[((A*R*T)/(100))*100]/[100+(R*T)];
T.D.=BD.*100/[100+(R+T)]
