 Definition of Simple Interest

▰ Simple Interest (Is) - interest

that is computed on the principal
and then added to it
4
 Important Formula
𝑰𝒔 =P*r*t
Where:
𝑰𝒔 = 𝑺𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕
𝑷 = 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒑𝒂𝒍
𝒓 = 𝑨𝒏𝒏𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑹𝒂𝒕𝒆
𝒕 = 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆(𝒊𝒏 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔) 5
 Example 1

▰ A bank offers 0.25% annual simple

interest rate for a particular deposit.
How much interest will be earned if
1 million pesos is deposited in this
savings account for 1 year? 6
 Solution 1

Required:
Given:
▰ 𝒓 = 𝟎. 𝟐𝟓%

▰ 𝑷 = 𝟏, 𝟎𝟎𝟎, 𝟎𝟎𝟎
▰ 𝑰𝒔 =?
▰ 𝒕 = 𝟏 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓
7
 Solution 1

“First step is to Formula: 𝑰𝒔 =P∗r∗t

convert the rate
𝑰𝒔 =1,000,000∗0.0025∗1
into a decimal”
𝟎. 𝟐𝟓 ÷ 100
=0.0025 𝑰𝒔 =2,500

 Conclusion 1

“The Simple Interest earned is

₱ 2,500.00”

 Example 2

▰ Juan invest ₱50,000 in a bank

for 2 years at a 3% annual
interest rate. What is the
interest Juan earned after this
time? 10
 Solution 2

Required:
Given:
▰ 𝒓 = 𝟑%

▰ 𝑷 = 𝟓𝟎, 𝟎𝟎𝟎
▰ 𝑰𝒔 =?
▰ 𝒕 = 𝟐 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔
11
 Solution 2

“First step is to Formula: 𝑰𝒔 =P∗r∗t

convert the rate
𝑰𝒔 =50,000∗0.03∗2
into a decimal”
𝑰𝒔 =1,500∗2
𝟑 ÷ 100
=0.03 𝑰𝒔 =3,000
12
 Conclusion 1

“Juan earned a simple interest

of ₱ 3,000.00”

 Exercise 1

▰ ₱10,000 is invested at two years

in a bank, earning a simple
interest rate of 8% per annum.
▰ Determine the simple interest
earned. 15
How about if we
have a term that is
NOT expressed in
years?
16
 Example 3

▰ How much interest is charged

when ₱50,000 is borrowed for
9 months at an annual simple
interest rate of 10%? 17
 Solution 3

Required:
Given:
▰ 𝒓 = 𝟏𝟎% 𝒐𝒓 𝟎. 𝟏

▰ 𝑷 = 𝟓𝟎, 𝟎𝟎𝟎
▰ 𝑰𝒔 =?
▰ 𝒕 = 𝟗 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒉𝒔
18
 Solution 3

“First step is to Formula:𝐭 = 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒉 ÷ 𝟏𝟐

convert months to 𝟗
years by using the 𝒕=
formula” 𝟏𝟐
𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒉 ÷ 𝟏𝟐
=time or term 𝒕 = 𝟎. 𝟕𝟓 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔
19
Solution 3

Formula: 𝑰𝒔 =P∗r∗t
𝑰𝒔 =50,000∗0.1∗0.75
𝑰𝒔 =5,000∗0.75
𝑰𝒔 =3,750
20
 Conclusion 3

“The simple interest charged is

₱ 3,750.00”
21
 Example 4

▰ ₱100,000 is invested for 2

years and 6 months in a bank
earning a simple interest rate
of 10% per annum. How much
is the interest? 22

▰ 𝑷 = 𝟏𝟎𝟎, 𝟎𝟎𝟎
𝑰 =?
▰
𝒔
▰ 𝒕 = 𝟐 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝟔 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒉𝒔
23
 Solution 3

“First step is to convert Solution:

months to years then add 𝟔
𝒕=
the years” 𝟏𝟐
(𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒉 ÷ 𝟏𝟐) + 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒕 = 𝟎. 𝟓
𝒕 = 𝟐 + 𝟎. 𝟓
𝒕 = 𝟐. 𝟓 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔
24
Solution 3

Formula: 𝑰𝒔 =P∗r∗t
𝑰𝒔 =100,000∗0.1∗2.5
𝑰𝒔 =10,000∗2.5
𝑰𝒔 =25,000

per annum. 28
How about it the
unknown is the
principal, rate, or
time?
29
 Remember the Formula

𝑰𝒔 =P*r*t
Where:
𝑰𝒔 = 𝑺𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕
𝑷 = 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒑𝒂𝒍
𝒓 = 𝑨𝒏𝒏𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑹𝒂𝒕𝒆
