How long will a principal earn an interest equal to half of it at 3% simple annual interest?
A = P(1 + rt)
where, 1. When invested at an annual interest rate of
A = accumulated/future/maturity value 7.5%, an amount earned P10, 000 of simple
P – principal or present value interest in three years. How much money was
r – annual interest rate (written in decimal
t – time (in years)
originally invested?
