A=p(1+RT/100).

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

Why 100 is multiplied?

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.

Total S.I-Rs4016.25.
Rate-9%
Time-5yrs
S.I.=[P*R*T/100]
So,
P=[S.I.*100/R*T]
P=[4016.25*100/9*5]
=8925 Ans.

Here, p.c.p.a Indicates the rate for compound interest.

P.C.P.A. Stands for Percent "Compounded" Per Annum. Then why simple interest is given in the question?

Mit said:   7 years ago
Is it asking for principal or principal+ interest. Please tell me.

P.C.P.A is percent compound per annum. Why is it using simple interest formula?
