FAQs on RS Aggarwal Solutions: Simple Interest - Mathematics (Maths) Class 7

1. What is the formula for calculating simple interest?
Ans. The formula for calculating simple interest is: Simple Interest = (Principal * Rate * Time) / 100.
2. How is simple interest different from compound interest?
Ans. Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount, whereas compound interest is calculated on both the principal amount and the accumulated interest. Compound interest generally yields a higher amount compared to simple interest.
3. Can you provide an example of calculating simple interest?
Ans. Certainly! Let's say you deposit $500 in a bank account with an annual interest rate of 5%. After 2 years, the simple interest earned can be calculated as follows: Simple Interest = (500 * 5 * 2) / 100 = $50. Therefore, the simple interest earned after 2 years would be $50.
4. What is the significance of time in calculating simple interest?
Ans. Time plays a crucial role in calculating simple interest as it determines the duration for which the principal amount is borrowed or invested. The longer the time period, the higher the interest earned or paid.
5. How can simple interest be useful in everyday life?
Ans. Simple interest is applicable in various real-life scenarios, such as borrowing or lending money, investing in fixed deposits, or calculating interest on credit card balances. It helps individuals understand the interest they owe or earn on their financial transactions, enabling them to make informed decisions.
