Amount = Principal × ( 1 + \(\frac{rate }{100}\) )t 11495 = 9500 × ( 1 + \(\frac{rate }{100}\) )2 \(\frac{11495}{9500}\) = ( 1 + \(\frac{rate }{100}\) )2 \(\frac{121}{100}\) = ( 1 + \(\frac{rate }{100}\) )2 1 + \(\frac{rate }{100}\) = \(\frac{11}{10}\) Rate = 10% Now , new rate = 2 × 10% = 20% Simple interest = \(\frac{P×R×T}{100}\) = \(\frac{9500×20×2}{100}\) = 3800 |
