If a farmer paid rupees 2025 as interest over 3 years at 2% per annum to a money lender how much loan had the farmer taken
Given that,
Principle Amount = P = ?
Rate of Interest = R = 2%
Time = T = 3 years.
Simple Interest = SI = Rs. 2025
So:
Simple Interest = SI = P x R x T /100
2025 = P x 2 x 3/100
6P = 202500
P = 202500/6 = Rs. 33750.
Ans: Rs. 33750.
