Solution

To solve these interest problems using the Exact Interest Method, the formula for simple interest is:

I=P×r×tI = P \times r \times t

Where:

  • II = Interest
  • PP = Principal
  • rr = Interest rate (annual, in decimal form)
  • tt = Time in years (with days converted based on the actual days of the year: 365 or 366)

Let's calculate each one based on the given information.

Problem 1:

Given:

  • P=810P = ₱810
  • r=7.5%=0.075r = 7.5\% = 0.075
  • I=14.98I = ₱14.98

We can find tt by rearranging the formula:

t=IP×r=14.98810×0.075t = \frac{I}{P \times r} = \frac{14.98}{810 \times 0.075}

Let's calculate tt.

Problem 2:

Given:

  • r=6%=0.06r = 6\% = 0.06
  • t=105 days=105365 yearst = 105 \text{ days} = \frac{105}{365} \text{ years}
  • I=25.3I = ₱25.3

We can find PP by rearranging the formula:

P=Ir×t=25.30.06×105365P = \frac{I}{r \times t} = \frac{25.3}{0.06 \times \frac{105}{365}}

Problem 3:

Given:

  • P=11,400P = ₱11,400
  • r=5%=0.05r = 5\% = 0.05
  • t=1 month=30365 yearst = 1 \text{ month} = \frac{30}{365} \text{ years}

We can calculate II by plugging values into the formula:

I=P×r×t=11,400×0.05×30365I = P \times r \times t = 11,400 \times 0.05 \times \frac{30}{365}

Problem 4:

Given:

  • P=875P = ₱875
  • t=120 days=120365 yearst = 120 \text{ days} = \frac{120}{365} \text{ years}
  • I=17.26I = ₱17.26

We can find rr by rearranging the formula:

r=IP×t=17.26875×120365r = \frac{I}{P \times t} = \frac{17.26}{875 \times \frac{120}{365}}

Problem 5:

Given:

  • P=2,400P = ₱2,400
  • r=7%=0.07r = 7\% = 0.07
  • I=23.01I = ₱23.01

We can find tt by rearranging the formula:

t=IP×r=23.012400×0.07t = \frac{I}{P \times r} = \frac{23.01}{2400 \times 0.07}

Let me calculate the unknowns.It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later. If you'd like, I can walk you through solving the calculations manually or explain the concepts further.

Here are some related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. How do you convert interest rates to decimals?
  2. Why is the number of days in the year important in the exact interest method?
  3. Can the Exact Interest Method be used for compound interest?
  4. How would the formula change if the time period were expressed in months rather than days?
  5. What are some other methods of calculating interest besides the Exact Interest Method?

Tip: Always double-check your conversions (e.g., days to years) to avoid calculation errors.
