PCPA is used for compound interest. Right?

Given:
s.i. =4016.25.
r=9,
t=5 y.

p = (100*s.i.)/r*t.
= 100*4016.25/9*5,
= 401625/45,
= 8925 ans.

5 years = 4016.25.
So, 1 years = 803.25.

Now formula, Rate % = Interest/principalx100(only for 1 years).
So, principal=803.25/9x100=8925.

Hence principal = 8925 ans=(C).

Why we take 100?

I can't understand this problem. Please anyone explain this problem.

@Fortune.

We know that P = S.I*100/R*T.

Given S.I = 4016.25, R = 9, T = 5.

Substitute these values in above formula,

Then,

P = 4016.25*100/9*5.

P = 4016.25*20/9 (Cancel 100 with 5).

P = 80325/9.

By simplifying this we get.

P = Rs.8925.

Hope it is understandable.

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.

I understand your concept thanks @Bhavna.

We can also use the formula.

Simple interest =principal *rate *time all over 100.
4016.25=p*9*5/100,
4016.25=45p/100,
Then cross multiply;
45p=401625,
divid both side by 45.
p=8925.
There the sum = 8925.

Hi friends! I am Vinaya.

Here we have to find d sum(p).
So formula we know is S.I=P*R*T/100;.
SO, p=S.I*100/R*T--->given S.I=4016.25 we can write it as 401625/100...R=9,T=5.
Substitute the values ...P=401625*100/100*9*5..

After calculation, we get 8925.

A=p(1+RT/100).

A=total money, borrow,
P=lended,loan,sum,
R=rate,
T=time.
