Akhil borrowed a sum of Rs. 800 at 5% per annum simple interest from Bhanu. He returns the amount with interest after 2 years. Bhanu returns to Akhil 2% of the total amount returned. How much did Akhil receive? Correct Answer Rs. 17.6
We know the formula for calculating Simple Interest and amount.
SI = (P × r × t)/100
A = P + SI
Where,
SI = Simple Interest
P = Principal
r = Rate of interest (in percentage)
t = Time period
A = Amount
It is given,
P = Rs. 800
r = 5%
t = 2 years
SI = (800 × 5 × 2)/100
⇒ SI = Rs. 80
⇒ Amount returned to Bhanu = 800 + 80 = Rs. 880
Amount returned back by Bhanu to Akhil = 2% of 880 = (2/100) × 880 = Rs. 17.6
∴ Amount Akhil received = Rs. 17.6
