Total simple interest is 4016.25.
Collect in 5years.
At a Rate of 9%p.a.
then SI =4016.25.
Rate = 9 * 5 = 45%.
Now, 4016.25/45 * 100.
= 401625/45.
= 8925.

SI = 4016
R = 9%p.a
T = 5yrs
P = ?
9 × 5 = 45%
45% = 4016.25
100% = ?
Ans = 8925.

Si = 4016.25
R = 9%
N = 5yrs
9×5 = 45%
45% = 4016.25

Take 1% = 4016.25/45 = 8925.
100% = we ×8925 = 8925 is correct answer.

Interest (I) = Rs. 4016.25.
Rate (R) = 9 pcpa.
Time (T) =5 years.
Principal (P)=?

I = (P×R×T)/100.
P= (I×100)/ R×T.

P= (4016.25×100)/ (9×5).
P= Rs 8925.

Ans: 8925.

8925 * 9% = 803.25.
803.25 * 5 = 4016.25.
Look 4016.25 is matching. So, this answer is correct.

=100* 4016.25/9*5
= 401625/45
