To solve the simple interest formula $I = Prt$ for $t$ in terms of $P$, $I$, and $r$, follow these steps:

Given formula:

$I = Prt$

Solve for $t$:

1. Divide both sides by $P$ and $r$: $t = \frac{I}{Pr}$

So the formula for $t$ in terms of $I$, $P$, and $r$ is: $t = \frac{I}{Pr}$

Final expression:

$t = \frac{I}{Pr}$

Tip:

Always convert percentage rates to decimals by dividing by 100 before applying them in formulas!
