What was the balance due April 19, 1834, the interest being 7 per cent.?

67. The principal, the rate per cent., the time, and the interest, are so related to each other, that any three of them being given, the remaining one can be found.

PROBLEM I.

Given the principal, the rate per cent., and the time, to find the interest. The rule for this problem has already been given under case III. Art. 65; it is as follows:

RULE.

Multiply the interest of $1, for the given time, and given rate per cent., by the principal.

PROBLEM II.

Given the time, the rate per cent., and the interest, to find the principal. By the reverse of the last problem we obtain this

RULE.

Divide the given interest by the interest of $1, for the given time, and given rate per cent.

Examples.

1. The interest on a certain principal, for 9 months and 10 days, at 4 per cent., is $1.01605. What was the principal? In this example we find the interest of $1, for 9 months 10 days, at 41 per cent., to be $0.035; ... $1.01605, divided by $0.035, gives $29.03, for the principal required.

2. What principal will, in 1 year 7 months and 15 days, at 6 per cent., give $9.75 interest? Ans. $100.

3. What principal will, in 7 years and 9 days, at 6 per cent., give $16.86 interest? Ans. $40.

4. What principal will, in 3 years and 6 months, at 5 per cent., give $92.75 interest?

5. What principal will, in 3 months and 9 days, at 8 per cent., give $90 interest?

PROBLEM III.

Given the principal, the time, and the interest, to find the rate per cent.

RULE.

Divide the given interest by the interest of the given principal, for the given time, at 1 per cent.

Examples.

1. The interest of $100, for 9 months and 10 days, is $3.50. What is the rate per cent.?

In this example we find the interest of $100, for 9 months and 10 days, at 6 per cent., to be $4.66. The interest at 1 per cent. is $0.773; therefore, dividing $3.50 by $0.77%, we obtain 4, for the rate per cent. required.

2. At what rate per cent. will $530, in 3 years and 6 months, give $92.75 interest? Ans. 5 per cent.

3. At what rate per cent. will $19.41, in 1 year 7 months and 13 days, give $2.2003391 interest? Ans. 7 per cent.

4. At what rate per cent. will $5.37, in 4 years 12 days, give $1.73272 interest?

5. At what rate per cent. will $4070, in 3 months, give $91.575 interest?

PROBLEM IV.

Given the principal, the rate per cent., and the interest, to find the time.

RULE.

Divide the given interest by the interest of the given principal, for 1 year, at the given rate per cent.

Examples.

1. In what time will $37.13, at 4 per cent., give $0.7518825 interest?

In this example we find the interest of $37.13, for 1 year, at 4 per cent., to be $1.67085; .. dividing $0.7518825 by $1.67085, we get 0.45 years; this, reduced to months and days, gives 5 months and 12 days.

2. In what time will $700, at 7 per cent., give $85.75 interest? Ans. 1 year 9 months.

3. In what time will $100, at 6 per cent., give $100 interest? That is, in what time will a given principal double itself at 6 per cent. interest? Ans. 16 years.

4. In what time will a given principal double itself at 7 per cent.? Ans. 14 years. 5. In what time will a given principal double itself at 8 per cent. ? Ans. 12 years.

6. In what time will a given principal double itself at 5 per cent.?

7. In what time will a given principal double itself at 44 per cent.?

The following table gives the time required for a given principal to double itself at simple interest.
