Simple Interest (SI)
SI = (P × R × T) / 100Amount = P + SI = P(1 + RT/100)Compound Interest (CI)
Amount = P(1 + R/100)^TCI = P(1 + R/100)^T - PAmount = P(1 + R/200)^2T (Half-yearly)Amount = P(1 + R/400)^4T (Quarterly)Difference Between SI and CI
CI - SI (2 years) = P(R/100)²CI - SI (3 years) = P(R/100)²(3 + R/100)Population and Depreciation
Population after T years = P(1 + R/100)^TValue after T years = P(1 - R/100)^TGet the complete formula sheet with derivations — continue in Super Tutor
