Answer:
The principal amount is $10160
Step-by-step explanation:
Given; Simple interest, I = 7620
Rate, R = 6.25
Time, T = 12
Principal, P =?
The formula for simple interest, I is;
[tex]I = \frac{PRT}{100}[/tex]
Making P the subject of formula;
[tex]P = \frac{I100}{RT}[/tex]
[tex]P = \frac{7620 *100}{6.25*12}[/tex]
[tex]P = \frac{762000}{75}\\P = 10160[/tex]
Therefore, the principal amount is $10160
Answer:
10000
Step-by-step explanation:
If an amount of money, P, called the principal, is invested for a period of t years at an annual interest rate r, the amount of simple interest, I, earned is given by
I=PrtwhereIPrt=interest=principal=rate=time
The following information is given.
Irt=$7,620=0.0635=12 years
Substituting the given information into the simple interest formula and solving for P gives
7,6207,620=(P)(0.0635)(12)=0.762P
Dividing both sides by 0.762, we have
P=7,6200.762=10,000
Thus, the principal amount of the bond was $10,000.
