They gave a number of Rs 450 so as per the formula amt = principal + interest, the amount should be subtracted from interest to get the principal but they directly takes principal as 450. Is it correct? Can anyone please clarify.

Formula: SI = P * T * R/100,
SI = simple interest(81),
P = principal(450),
T = time(?),
R = rate(4.5),
T = SI * 100/P * R.
T = 81 * 100/450 * 4.5,
T = 8100/2025.
T = 4. Here s the answer.

450 ---> 81-----> 4.5.
2*4.5 --->. 81-----> 2*4.5,
9 *9 &----- > 81,
2*2 = 4.
