S=p+I and t=(s/p-1)/r.

450 * 4.5/100 = 450/100 = 4.5 * 4.5 = 20.25.
81/20.25 = 4.

t = ?
P = Rs.450.
S.I = 81.
R = 4.5%.

As we know : SI = P*R*T/100.
: T = S.I*100/P*R.
i.e: 81*100/450*405 = 4 yr.

450*4.5/100=20.25
20.25*4=81(from option)

I want to know the formula for converting from percentge to years and amount to years.

Ragu said:   2 decades ago
(100*81/450*4.5)=(2*81/9*4.5)=(2*2/4.5)

so 4/4.5=4 (given ans)but

4/4.5=0.8888

So my doubt is how the ans was 4 years? can anyone explain me clearly?

1. T = S.I x 100/p x r
2. 81 * 100/4.5 * 450
3. if you simplify it 4 comes as the answer.
