What is the rate of interest at which Rs.150 becomes Rs. 220 in 10 years?
What is the rate of interest at which Rs.150 becomes Rs. 220 in 10 years?
Explanation
The formula for simple interest is:
Simple Interest (SI) = (Principal x Rate x Time) / 100
Rearrange the formula to solve for Rate (R):
R = (SI / Principal) x (100 / Time)
Plug in the values:
R = (70 / 150) x (100 / 10)
R = 0.4667 x 10
R = 14/3
R = 4.67 (approximately)
So, the rate of interest is approximately 4.67% or 14/3%.
