REM.-In the computation of interest we find the interest equal to the product of the principal, rate per cent, and time. By using the initial letters for these, we get convenient formulas; thus,

=

Let P principal, r = rate per cent, t = time, and I = interest; we have the equation

[blocks in formation]

Principal equal to interest divided by the product of rate and time.

[blocks in formation]

Rate equal to interest divided by the product of principal and time.

[blocks in formation]

Time equal to interest divided by the product of principal and rate.

ENUNCIATION OF THE FORMULAS.

1. The interest of a sum of money is equal to the sum, called principal, multiplied by the rate and the time.

2. The principal is equal to the interest divided by the product of the rate and the time.

3. The rate is equal to the interest divided by the product of the principal and the time, and then reduced to hundredths.

4. The time is equal to the interest divided by the product of the principal and the rate.

The four formulas enable us to determine any one of the four quantities when the other three are known.
