Answer 1

Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using formula:

$\text{Simple Interest} = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \\\\\text{ Total amount} = \text{principle}+ \text{Simple Interest}$

In question (1):

$Principle= \ 600\\Rate = \ 8 \%\\Time= \ 5$

In point a:

$\to \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \\\\\to \frac{(600 \times 8 \times 5)}{100}\\\\ \to 240$

In point b:

$\to amount = principle \ +\ simple \ interest$

                 $= 600 + 240 \\\\= 840$

In question (2):

$Principle= \ 12,450\\Rate = \ 7.25 \%\\Time= \ 6$

In point a:

$\to \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \\\\\to \frac{(12,450 \times 7.25 \times 6)}{100}\\\\ \to 5,415.75$

In point b:

$\to amount = principle \ +\ simple \ interest$

                 $= 12,450 + 5,415.75 \\\\= 17,865.75$

The 3 question is incomplete, that's why it can't be solved.
