Compound Interest 2.
COMPOUND INTEREST COMPOUND INTEREST - When interest charged

on total outstanding amount, it is called compound interest.
Anwesha bought a new scooty with the help of loan Suppose a person borrowed Rs. 5000 at 10% per
annum for two years.
from a bank she had to repay bank the amount in yearly
installments. She managed to repay the loan in three years. Calculation of interest when amount lent at compound
After repaying she calculated the amount and found that she interest -
paid more money than what she had borrowed. She discussed
the matter with her father. Her father made her understand
