Question 185
The difference between the coin pound interest and simple interest accrued on an amount at the end of three years at the rate of 12% is 381.888. What is the amount ?
Solution
Let the amount be a
let the rate of interest = r =0.12 (given)
compound interest =$$ a(1+r)^{3} $$ -a
= $$a(r^{3}+3r(1+r))$$
simple interest = 3ar
difference = $$a(r^{3}+3r(1+r)) -3ar$$
= $$a(r^{3}+3r^{2})$$ = 381.88 (given)
a = 381.88/$$(r^{3}+3r^{2})$$
= 8500 (by substituting r =0.12)
