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
