How T.D. = B.G.*100/(Rate*Time)?

Can it be done through compound interest?

Is the answer correct?

I mean B.G = B.D - T.D.

Now, B.D = (PxRxT)/100.

T.D = (PxRxT)/(100+ RxT).

Now, R=10; T=2; B.G = 24.

Solving this we get P = 720.

Am I doing anything wrong? Appreciate the help.

T.D = B.G*100/R*T.

= 24*100/10*2.

T.D = 120.

P.W = 100*T.D/R*T.

= 12000/20.

P.W = 600.
