Find the interest, if $P=550, t=2\frac{1}{2}, r=4$%.


Given:

Principal $= Rs. 550$

Time $= 2\frac{1}{2} years = \frac{5}{2} years$

Rate of interest $= 4$%

To do :

We have to find interest.

Solution :

We know that,

Simple interest (SI) $= \frac{PTR}{100}$

where P is the principal, T is time and R is the rate of interest.

Therefore,

$SI = Rs. 550\times \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{4}{100}$

     $= Rs. 550\times \frac{20}{200}$

     $= Rs. \frac{550}{10}$

     $= Rs. 55$.

Therefore, interest is Rs.55.
