More solved problems on compound interest using formula are shown below.
Solution:
Given, SI = $ 6750, R = \(\frac{20}{3}\)% p.a. and T = 3 years.
sum = 100 × SI / R × T
= $ (100 × 6750 × ³/₂₀ × 1/3 ) = $ 33750.
Now, P = $ 33750, R = \(\frac{20}{3}\)% p.a. and T = 3 years.
Therefore, amount after 3 years
= $ {33750 × (1 + (20/3 × 100)}³ [using A = P (1 + R/100)ᵀ]
= $ (33750 × 16/15 × 16/15 × 16/15) = $ 40960.
Thus, amount = $ 40960.
Hence, compound interest = $ (40960 - 33750) = $ 7210.
Solution:
Let the sum be $ 100. Then,
SI = $ (100 × 6 × 2/100) = $ 12
and compound interest = $ {100 × (1 + 6/100)² - 100}
= $ {(100 × 53/50 × 53/50) - 100} = $ (2809/25 - 100) = $ 309/25
Therefore, (CI) - (SI) = $ (309/25 – 100) = $ 9/25
If the difference between the CI and SI is $ 9/25, then the sum = $ 100.
If the difference between the CI and SI is $ 18, then the sum = $ (100 × 25/9 × 18 )
= $ 5000.
Hence, the required sum is $ 5000.
Alternative method
Let the sum be $ P.
Then, SI = $ (P × 6/100 × 2) = $ 3P/25
And, CI = $ {P × (1 + 6/100)² - P}
= $ {(P × 53/50 × 53/50) - P} = $ (\(\frac{2809}{2500}\)P - P) = $ (309P/2500)
(CI) - (SI) = $ (309P/2500 – 3P/25) = $ (9P/2500)
Therefore, 9P/2500 = 18
⇔ P = 2500 × 18/9
⇔ P = 5000.
Hence, the required sum is $ 5000.
Solution:
Let the sum be $ 100. Then,
amount = $ {100 × (1 + 8/100)²}
= $ (100 × 27/25 × 27/25) = $ (2916/25)
If the amount is $ 2916/25 then the sum = $ 100.
If the amount is $ 72900 then the sum = $ (100 × 25/2916 × 72900) = $ 62500.
Hence, the required sum is $ 62500.
Alternative method
Let the sum be $ P. Then,
amount = $ {P × (1 + 8/100)²}
= $ {P × 27/25 × 27/25} = $ (729P/625)
Therefore, 729P/625 = 72900
⇔ P = (72900 × 625)/729
⇔ P = 62500.
Hence, the required sum is $ 62500.
Solution:
Let the required rate be R% per annum.
Here, A = $ 2205, P = $ 2000 and n = 2 years.
Using the formula A = P(1 + R/100)ⁿ,
2205 = 2000 × ( 1 + R/100)²
⇒ (1 + R/100)² = 2205/2000 = 441/400 = (21/20)²
⇒ ( 1 + R/100) = 21/20
⇒ R/100 = (21/20 – 1) = 1/20
⇒ R = (100 × 1/20) = 5
Hence, the required rate of interest is 5% per annum.
Solution:
Let the required time be n years. Then,
amount = $ {1000 × (1 + 10/100)ⁿ}
= $ {1000 × (11/10)ⁿ}
Therefore, 1000 × (11/10)ⁿ = 1331 [since, amount = $ 1331 (given)]
⇒ (11/10)ⁿ = 1331/1000 = 11 × 11 × 11/ 10 × 10 × 10 = (11/10)³
⇒ (11/10)ⁿ = (11/10)³
⇒ n = 3.
Thus, n = 3.
Hence, the required time is 3 years.
