Given:
First amount = Rs. 815.
Second amount=Rs. 854.
Diff of amount = second amount - first amount.
= 854-815.
= 39.
Now, for 3 years;
You will have to multiply.
=39*3.
=117.
So now principal is;
= 815-117,
p= 698.
First amount = Rs. 815.
Second amount=Rs. 854.
Diff of amount = second amount - first amount.
= 854-815.
= 39.
Now, for 3 years;
You will have to multiply.
=39*3.
=117.
So now principal is;
= 815-117,
p= 698.
