Simple interest = P*T*R/100,

P = 100*S.I/T*R,

= 100*4016.25/5*9 = 8925.

Principal means sum here.

Then what is the difference between P. C. P. A and P. A since we use the same formula so we get the same answer?

Swapnil said:   9 years ago
It is very easy.

Take 9 * 5 = 45.

45% = 4016.25.

100%= ?

By cross multiplication we get the answer is 8925.

If you go through the important formulas you will definitely find formulas to find each value differently.

Here sum relates to the principle so the formula for principle is P=100 * SI / R * N.

SUBSTITUTE the values in it, you will get the solution, that's it.

P=100 * SI / R * N.

Where, P - amount. R - rate. I - interest. N - year.
