@Basil.

It is given in the question that it is simple interest. So SI formula is applied here. PCPA stands here for per cent per annum.

4016.25*100 = 401625.
9*5 = 45,
401625/45 = 8925.

Why you take *100?

S I = P*R*T /100

P = (100 x S.I)/(R x T)

I=P*N*R/100
4016.25=P*5*9
4016.25=P*45
P=4016.25/45
P=89.25*100
P=8925
