7/8*8/9 = (7*8)/(8*9)
Since we have an 8 both above and below, we can erase it, and so the answer is 7/9
For compound interest, the formula is given below:
Amount =
Here, P = 18,800
n = 2
r = 13/100
So, Amount =
= 18,800 × 1.2769
= 24005.72
Compound Interest = Amount - Principal
Compound Interest = 24005.72 - 18800
= 5205.72
Hence, the compound interest for Rs.18,800, calculated for 2 years at 13% rate of interest compounded annually is Rs.5205.72.
