TOPIC: SIMPLE INTEREST

Interest is the money paid for saving a particular amount of money.

Simple interest can be calculated using the formula 

Simple interest I = PRT

       100

Where P= principal, R=rate & T= time

Also total amount =principal +interest

Example 1

Find the simple interest on N60, 000 for 5 years at 9% per annum

Solution 

Applying I=PRT    P= N 60,000 R=9% T=5 years 

        100

I = 60,000x9x5

100

= N 27,000

Example 2 

A man borrows N 1,600,000 to buy a house .He is charged interest at the rate of 11% per annum. In the first year, he paid the interest on the loan. He also paid back N 100,000 of the money borrowed. How much did he pay back altogether? If he paid this money by monthly instalment, how much did he pay per month?

Solution 

P= N 1,600,000   R=11% T=1 year

Interest on N 1,600,000 I =PRT =1’600,000 x11x1 = N 176,000

                100 =         100

The total amount paid in the first year= N 100,000 + N 176,000 = N 276,000

Monthly payment =276.000   = N 23,000

            12

Class work 

1. Find the simple interest on the following:
2. N 10,000 for 31/2 years at 4% per annum
3. N 20,000 for 4 years at 4% per annum 
4. A man got N 1,800,000 loan to buy a house .He paid interest at a rate of 9% per annum. In the first year, he paid the interest on the loan. He also paid back N 140,000 of the money he borrowed. (a) How much did he pay in the first  year altogether.

Profit and loss percent

Profit means gain, while loss is the inverse of profit.

% Profit is the percentage of the gain made from a particular product or item

% Profit = profit x 100

Cost price

To find the selling price of an article 

At loss = cost price – loss

At gain= cost price + profit

Example

1. A trader buys a kettle for N 800 and sells at a profit of 15%. Find the actual profit and the selling price

Solution 

Profit =15 of N 800

=15 x800

= N 120

Selling price = C. + profit

= 800+120

= N 920

2. A hat is bought for N 250 and sold for N 220, what is the loss percent

Solution

Cost price C.P = N 250

Selling price = N 220

Lost= N 250- N 220 = N 30

% Loss =loss x100%

        C.P

=30/250 x100%

=300/25 =12%

Class work

1. Find the actual profit and the selling price of a material which cost #1000 sold at a profit of 15% 
2. A farmer buys a land for #40,000 and sells it for N 33,000 what is the percentage loss? 
3. A car that cost N 336,000 was sold at a loss of 17½%. What is the selling price 

Discount and Commission

A discount is a reduction in price of goods or items. Discount are often given for paying in cash

Commission: this is the payment for selling an item.

Examples

1. Find the discount price, if a discount of 25% is given on a market price of #9,200 

Solution

Discount =25% of N 9,200

=25/100 x9, 200=2,300

1. A radio cost N 5,400 .A 12½% discount is given for cash. What is the cash price 

Solution

Discount =12 ½% of N 5,400

= 25/2x100 x 5400

=25/2x100 x5400=675

Cash price = N 5,400-675 = N 4725

1. A bank charges 2½   % commission for issuing a bank draft to its customers, if a customer obtained a bank draft for N 84,000 from the bank, calculates the total cost of the bank draft. 

Solution

Commission =22% of N 84,000 

5/2/100 x 84,000

=5/2x100 x84, 000

= N 2,100

Total cost of bank draft =84,000+ N 2,000 = N 86,100

Class work

1. Find the discount price if a discount of 20% is given on a market of N 2,915 
2. The selling price of a table is N 14,000, the trader gives a 25% discount for cash, what is the cash price 
3. An insurance agent sells N 284,000 worth of insurance, his commission is 20% .How much money does he get
