When tare and cloff are allowed:

Deduct the tare and trett as before, and divide the suttle by 168 (because 2 lb. is the 1 of 3 cwt.) the quotient will be the cloff, which subtract from the suttle, and the remainder will be the neat weight.

EXAMPLES.

1. In 3 hogsheads of Tobacco, each weighing 13 cwt 3 qrs. 24 lb. gross, tare 107 lb. per hogshead, trett 4 lb. per 104 lb. and cloff 2 lb. per 3 cwt. as usual; how much neat.

INTEREST.

INTEREST is of two kinds; Simple and Compound. SIMPLE INTEREST.

Simple Interest is the sum paid by the borrower to the lender for the use of money lent; and is generally at a certain rate per cent. per annum, which in several of the United States is fixed by law at 6 per cent. per annum ; that is 6l., for the use of 100l. or 6 dollars for the use of 100 dollars for one year, &c. Principal is the sum lent.

Rate, is the sum per cent. agreed on.

Amount, is the principal and interest added together. CASE I.

To find the interest of any given sum for one year.

RULE.

Multiply the principal by the rate per cent. and divide the product by 100; the quotient will be the answer.

EXAMPLES.

28/10, 70 $28, 10cts. 7m. Ans. Here I cut off the two right hand integers, which divide by 100 but to divide federal money by 100, you need only call the dollars so many cents, and the inferior denominations decimals of a cent, and it is done.

Therefore you may multiply the principal by the rate, and place the separatrix in the product, as in multiplication of federal money, and all the figures at the left of the Separatrix, will be the interest in cents, and the first figure on the right will be mills, and the others decimals of a till, as in the following

ANOTHER METHOD

Write down the given principal in cents, which multiply by the rate, and divide by 100 as before, and you will have the interest for a year, in cents, and decimals of a cent, as follows:

CASE II.

To find the simple interest of any sum of money, number of years, and parts of a year.

GENERAL RULE.

for any

1st Find the interest of the given sum for one year 2d. Multiply the interest of one year by the given number of years, and the product will be the answer for that time.

3d. If there be parts of a year, as months and days, work for the months by the aliquot parts of a-year, and for the days by the Rule of Three Direct, or by allowing 30 days to the month, and taking aliquot parts of the same.*

* By allowing the month to be 30 days, and taking aliquot part thereof, you will have the interest of any ordinary sum sufficiently ex act for common use; but if the sum be very large, you may say,

As 365 days: is to the interest of one year:: so is the given number of days: to the interest required.
