The worksheet for simple interest calculation let you understand how to calculate simple interest and what are all the key factors are associated with it.

Simple Interest Formula:

Let us assume
Principal = P,
Interest Rate = R% per year and
Time = T years then the simple interest can be calculated from the below formula


Example Calculation:
At the rate of 8% per year simple interest, a sum of 5000 USD will earn how much interest by the end of 5 years
solution:
SI = (5000 x 8 x 5 / 100 )
= 2000USD 2000 will be earned at the end of 5 years

Practice problems:
1. At the rate of 11% per year simple interest, a sum of 9000 USD will earn how much interest by the end of 9 years

2. A man borrowed 1500 USD at the rate of 9% per year SI. How much amount he has to pay in return to clear the debt after 7 years?
