Compound compound interest on principal for two year and three year re...
To find the rate of interest given the compound interest for two years and three years, you can use the following formula:
r = ( (1 + I/P)^(1/n) - 1 ) * 100
where r is the rate of interest, I is the compound interest, P is the principal, and n is the number of years.
In this case, P is 600 and 938 for the two years and three years, respectively. I is the compound interest, which you can find by subtracting the principal from the total amount after two years and three years, respectively.
For example, if the total amount after two years is 660 and the total amount after three years is 1020, the compound interest for two years is 660 - 600 = 60 and the compound interest for three years is 1020 - 938 = 82.
Plugging these values into the formula, you can calculate the rate of interest as follows:
r = ( (1 + 60/600)^(1/2) - 1 ) * 100 = 10%
r = ( (1 + 82/938)^(1/3) - 1 ) * 100 = 9%
Therefore, the rate of interest is 10% for two years and 9% for three years. Note that these values are approximations, as the formula assumes that the rate of interest is constant over the period of time being considered. In reality, the rate of interest may vary from year to year.
