A=P(1+R/100)^n.
8000(1+5/100)^2,
80(105)^2.
= 105 * 105 = 11025 * 80 = 882000.

I can solve this question by P(1+r/100)n.

Use this formula, you will get the solution.

Why we are putting (1+5/100) 2,
I need why 1 is there and why we are squaring them.

Given: r = 5, n = 2, p = 8000.

Amount = P[1+r/100]^n;

CI = Amount + principal;

@Shivani.

C.I = P(1 +R/100)^n.

Use this formula you will get answer.

Formula:

CI = A - P.
A = P ( 1 + R/100 )^N.
N= no of years.

How this 21/20 is come? please can someone explain this.

Varshink said:   9 years ago
Can anyone tell why are we using amount formulae for CI?

Thinesh said:   8 years ago
Why are we not using CI = [ PX(1+R/100)^n]-P formula?
