Lesson Simple Interest

1

There are many applications of Mathematics in real-life. One of the most practical
applications is in business. Lending or borrowing money is one of the concerns of most people.
Will their money earn interest? Will they be able to wait long enough to obtain the amount that
they desire? With sufficient understanding of the concepts of simple and compound interests,
these questions can be answered.

This chapter focuses on the financial concept of Simple Interest.

Let’s Explore

Your parents want to buy a laptop for you to use during online classes, but they don’t have
enough savings to pay for it. How can your parents buy the laptop?

1. How do credit card companies make money from their services?

2. How do banks, credit cooperatives, or appliance centers make money from their
clients?

Let’s Elaborate

Almost everyday money is borrowed and loaned in thousands of transactions

amounting, in total, to hundreds of millions of pesos. A bank is a financial institution which is
involved in borrowing and lending money. Banks take customer deposits in return for paying
customers an annual interest payment. The bank then uses most of these deposits to lend to
other customers for a variety of loans.

Borrowing and lending are two sides of the same transaction. To the lender, a loan
represents an investment in a debt obligation. When you borrow money, you are charged an
interest on the amount you borrowed. When you invest or saved money in the bank, you are
being paid interest by the bank.

4
 Since borrowing, and lending are so central to our daily lives and in the economic
system, it is essential to familiarize with the definition of terms and learn the computation of
interest in borrowing/lending transactions.

Definition of Terms
❖ Debtor or Maker – an individual or institution that borrows money for any purpose
❖ Lender or Creditor – an individual or financial institution which loans the money
❖ Interest (I) – the payment for the use of borrowed money or the amount earned on
invested money
❖ Principal or Present value (P) – the capital or sum of money borrowed or invested
– is also called the face value or the present value of the loan
❖ Rate of Interest (r) – this is a fractional part of the principal that is paid on the loan or
investment which is usually expressed as percent
❖ Origin or Loan Date – date on which money is received by the borrower.
❖ Repayment Date or Maturity Date - date on which the money borrowed or loaned is
to be completely repaid.
❖ Time or Term (t) – the number of years for which money is borrowed or invested
❖ Maturity Value or Future Value (F) – the sum of the principal and the interest
accumulated over a certain period

The Simple Interest (Is)

For every financial transaction, whether you borrowed or invested a certain amount, a
corresponding percentage of the principal is being paid. Simple Interest (Is) is charged only
on the amount invested or borrowed called the principal.

In solving problems involving simple interest, the following formulas

will be used for a particular given and required information:

Required Given Formula

Simple Interest (Is) Principal (P), rate of interest (r), and time (t) Is = Prt

Principal (P) and Simple Interest (Is) F = P + Is

Future value (F)
Principal (P), rate of interest (r), and time (t) F = P (1 + rt)
𝐼𝑠
Simple Interest (Is), rate of interest (r), and time (t) 𝑃=
Principal (P) 𝑟𝑡
Future value (F) and Simple Interest (Is) P = F - Is
Simple Interest (Is), Principal (P), and rate of 𝐼𝑠
Time (t) 𝑡=
interest (r) 𝑃𝑟
𝐼𝑠
Rate of interest (r) Simple Interest (Is), Principal (P), and time (t) 𝑟=

Example

Directions: Complete the table below by solving the unknown quantities in each row.

Principal Rate Time Simple Interest Future Value

(P) (r) (t) (Is) (F)

1. ₱600,000.00 13.5% 12 years

2. 4.5% 6 years ₱2,430.00

1 year and
3. ₱50,000.00 ₱5,480.00
6 months
4. ₱350,000.00 0.7% ₱4,900.00

5. ₱25,000.00 5% 9 months

Solution:

1. Given: P = ₱600, 000.00; r = 13.5% or 0.135; t = 12 years

Is = Prt F = P + Is
Is = ₱600,000.00(0.135) (12) F = ₱600,000.00 + ₱972,000.00
Is = ₱972,000.00 F = ₱1,572,000.00

2. Given: r = 4.5% or 0.045; t = 6 years; Is = ₱2,430.00

𝐼
𝑃 = 𝑟𝑡𝑠 F = P + Is

₱2430.00
𝑃= F = ₱9,000.00 + ₱2,430.00
0.045(6)

𝑷 = ₱9,000.00 F = ₱11,430.00

6
3. Given: P = ₱50,000.00; t=1 years or 1.5 years; Is = ₱5,480.00
12

𝐼
𝑟 = 𝑃𝑡𝑠 F = P + Is

₱5480.00
𝑟 = ₱50,000.00(1.5) F = ₱50,000.00 + ₱5,480.00

𝒓 = 0.07 or 7% F = ₱55,480.00

4. Given: P = ₱350,000.00; r = 0.7% or 0.007; Is = ₱4,900.00

𝐼
𝑡 = 𝑃𝑟𝑠 F = P + Is

6
 ₱4,900.00
𝑡= F = ₱350,000.00 + ₱4,900.00
₱350,000(0.007)

t = 2 years F = ₱354,900.00
9
5. Given: P = ₱25,000.00; r = 5% or 0.05; 𝑡= year
12

Is = Prt F = P + Is
9
Is = ₱25,000.00 (0.05)(12) F = ₱25,000.00 + ₱937.50
Is = ₱937.50 F = ₱25,937.50

Problems Involving Simple Interest

1. Rachelle borrowed Php 150,000.00 from her cousin. If Rachelle agreed to pay a 6%
annual interest rate, calculate the amount of interest she must pay if the loan period is
1 year.

Solution
The problem provides the following information:
P = ₱150,000.00, r = 6% or 0.06, and t = 1 year.

Substitute these values to the formula of interest, Is = Prt.

Is = (₱150,000.00) (0.06) (1)
Is = ₱9,600.00

Therefore, Rachelle will pay an interest of Php 9,600.00 in 1 year.

2. Antonio invested a certain amount at 8% simple interest per year. After 2 ½ years, the
interest he received amounted to ₱12,000.00. How much did he invest?

Solution
Given: r = 8% or 0.08; Is = ₱12,000.00; t = 2.5 years
𝐼
𝑃 = 𝑟𝑡𝑠
₱12,000.00
𝑃= 0.08(2.5)

𝑷 = ₱60,000.00
Therefore, the amount of money originally invested was ₱60,000.00.

3. Ivana borrowed ₱40,000.00 and paid ₱2,250.00 interest for 9 months. What was the
rate of interest?

Solution:
9
Given: P = ₱40,000.00; Is = ₱2,250.00 ; t= year
12

7
 𝐼
𝑟 = 𝑃𝑡𝑠
₱2,250.00
𝑟= 9
₱40,000.00(12)

r = 0.075 or 7.5%

Therefore, the rate of interest was 0.1 or 10%.

4. How many years will it take for ₱22,000.00 to double at 12.5% simple interest?

Solution:
Given: P = ₱22,000.00; F = ₱44,000.00; r = 12.5% or 0.125

𝐼𝑠 = 𝐹 − 𝑃
𝐼𝑠 = ₱44,000.00 − ₱22,000.00
𝐼𝑠 = ₱22,000.00
𝐼
𝑡 = 𝑃𝑟𝑠
₱22,000.00
𝑡 = ₱22,000.00(0.125)

𝒕 = 8 years
Therefore, it will take 8 years for ₱22,000.00 to amount to ₱44,000.00.

Answer the following problems involving simple interest. Write your complete solutions and
answers on a 1 whole sheet of paper.

1. Find the simple interest on a loan of ₱85,000.00 if the loan is given at a rate of
4% and is due in 6 years and 4 months?

2. How much money will you have after 5 years if you deposited ₱30,000.00 in a bank
that pays 8% simple interest?

Let’s Remember

The following were the key points of the topic:

Simple Interest (Is) is computed based on the principal, interest rate, and the length
of time for which the money is invested or borrowed.

From the equation of the simple interest 𝐼𝑠 = 𝑃𝑟𝑡 , you can also solve for the other
variables, P, r and t.

Equations for principal, rate, and time can be formulated using the Golden Rule of
Equations –
“Equality is preserved if both sides of the equation are changed the same way.”
To solve for P,
𝐼𝑠 𝑃𝑟𝑡
= < divide both sides by rt >
𝑟𝑡 𝑟𝑡
𝐼𝑠
𝑃 = 𝑟𝑡

Equations for rate (r) and time (t) can be in a similar manner.

To easily remember things, use the drawn circle below. Cover the letter to get its
formula.
𝐼𝑠 𝒔 𝑰
Covering P, you will have . Hence, 𝑷 =
𝑟𝑡 𝒓𝒕
Is 𝐼𝑠 𝑰
Covering r, you will have . Hence, 𝒓 = 𝑷𝒕𝒔
𝑃𝑡

Covering t, you will have . Hence, 𝒕 = 𝑷𝒓𝒔
