At what rate will the interest on N400 increases to N24 in 3 years reckoning in simple interest?
A.
3%
B.
2%
C.
5%
D.
4%
Correct Answer: 2%
Explanation
Using simple interest = P × T × R/100,
where: P denoted principal = N400
T denotes time = 3 years
R denotes interest rate = ?
24 = 400×3×R/100
24 x 100 = 400 x 3 x R
R = (24 × 100)/(400 × 3)
= 2%
Using simple interest = P × T × R/100,
where: P denoted principal = N400
T denotes time = 3 years
R denotes interest rate = ?
24 = 400×3×R/100
24 x 100 = 400 x 3 x R
R = (24 × 100)/(400 × 3)
= 2%
