INTEREST. Interest is an allowance made for the use of money. In computing interest four things are to be particularly observed; viz. principal, time, rate per cent., and amount. Principal is the sum for which interest is to be computed. Rate per cent. per annum is the interest of 100 dollars or pounds for 1 year. Time is the number of years, months, &c. for which interest is to be computed. Amount is the principal and interest added together. Case 1. When the time is one year, and the rate per cent is any number of dollars or pounds. Rule. Multiply the dollars or pounds by the rate per cent., and divide by 100; the quotient will be the interest for one year. 3 Note. When the rate for cent. is not equal to a whole number, but consists of a fraction, such as a 1,, or 2, the aliquot parts of the principal must be taken; after which divide by 100 for the interest. Note 2.-When the rate per cent. is any number of dollars or pounds, and 1,1, or 2, say 41, 41, or 4 per cent., multiply the principal by the whole number, and add,, or of the principal to the product, then divide the answer by 100 as before. Case 2. When the interest is required for several years. Rule. Find the interest for 1 year, and multiply the interest for 1 year by the number of years for which the interest is required. Note. If the interest is required for years and months, multiply the interest for 1 year by the number of years, and add aliquot parts for the months of the interest for 1 year. Case 3. When the interest is required for any number of months, weeks, or days, less or more than one year. Rule. 1. Find the interest of the given sum forlyear. 2.—Then, as 1 year is to the given time, so is the interest of the given sum for 1 year to the interest for the time required. Case 4. To find the interest of any sum for any number of days, as computed at banks. Rule.-Multiply the dollars by the number of days, and divide by 6, the quotient will be the answer in mills. Rule 2.-The interest of any number of dollars for 60 days at 6 per cent., will be exactly the number of cents; and if any other rate per cent. is required, take aliquot parts and add or subtract according as the rate per cent. is more or less than 6. 18 lb.-No. 2, 7 Cwt. 0 qr. 10 lb.-No. 3, 5 Cwt. 3 qr. 26 lb.-No. 4, 8 Cwt. 0 qr. 3 lb., tare 12 lb. per Cwt.?
