5. How much does Mr. Watson pay for the use of the money? What is the $6 called ?

6. On what is the interest reckoned? The $100 is called the principal.

The principal is the sum on which the interest is paid. The principal corresponds to the base in percentage.

The rate of interest is a certain number of hundredths of the principal paid for the use of the principal for one year.

Time is always a factor in interest. Interest, then, is the product of three factors: principal, rate, and time.

The amount is the sum of the principal and the interest.

The one dollar six per cent method of finding interest.
1. What is the interest on $1 at 6% for 1 year?
Interest on 1 dollar for 1 month equals 1 of $.06 or 14.
Interest on 1 dollar for 1 day equals zo of 1$=$=$.0004.

Since the interest on 1 dollar for 1 month is 1 ¢ and for 1 day à mill, change the years and months to months. The interest on each dollar will be į as many cents as there are months and | as many mills as there are days. Multiply the sum by a number equal to the number of dollars. The interest at any other rate may be found as follows: 1%= 1 of 6%

5%= 6%-} of 6% 2%= 1 of 6%

7%= 6% + 2 of 6% 3%= 1 of 6%

8%= 6% + of 6% 4%= 4 of 6%

9%= 6% + 1 of 6%

Written Work 1. Find the interest and amount of $ 300 for 1

year

10 months 19 days at 6% ; at 8%. 1 yr. 10 mo. = 22 months.

Int. on $1 at 6% for 22 mo. = $.11

Int. on $1 at 6% for 19 da. .0033
Int. on $1 at 6% for 22 mo. 19 da. = $.1137
Int. on $300 at 6% for 22 mo. 19 da. = 300 x $.1134

or $33.95 (to the nearest cent). $33.95 int. + $300 prin. = $333.95, amount. At 8% the interest will be $33.95 + (} of $33.95), or $45.27, and the amount $345.27.
