11.1.1 The Simple Interest Formula

The interest formula shows how interest, rate,


and time are related and gives us a way of
finding one of these values if the other three
values are known.

Identify the principal,


rate and time

The interest is a percentage.

Principal is the amount borrowed or invested.

Rate of interest is a percent for a given time


period, usually one year.

Time must be expressed in the same unit of


time as the rate. (i.e. one year)

Find the interest paid on a loan

Principal = (P) $1,200

Interest rate = 8% (or 0.08)

Time = 1 year

Interest = P x R x T

Interest = 1,200 x 0.08 x 1

Interest = $96

The interest on the loan is $96.

11.1.2 Find the Maturity


Value of a Loan

Maturity value: the total amount of money due


by the end of a loan period; the amount of the
loan and interest.

If the principal and the interest are known, add


them.

MV = principal + PRT

MV = P(1+RT)

11.1.3 Convert Months to a


Fractional or Decimal Part of a Year

Write the number of months as the

Write 12 as the denominator of the fraction.

Reduce the fraction to lowest terms if using the


fractional equivalent.

Divide the numerator by the denominator to get


the decimal equivalent of the fraction.
