(Answer with explanation and working)

Answer:

[tex]RS\ 8,748[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

[tex]A=P(1+rt)[/tex]

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

step 1

Find the rate of interest

in this problem we have

[tex]t=8\ years\\ P=RS\ 3,560\\ A=RS\ 4,272\\r=?[/tex]

substitute in the formula above

[tex]4,272=3,560(1+8r)[/tex]

solve for r

[tex]8r=(4,272/3,560)-1[/tex]

[tex]r=[(4,272/3,560)-1]/8[/tex]

[tex]r=0.025[/tex]

convert to percentage

[tex]r=0.025*100=2.5\%[/tex]

step 2

What will be the simple interest on Rs 6480 in 14 years at the same rate of interest?

we have

[tex]t=14\ years\\ P=RS\ 6,480\\ A=?\\r=0.025[/tex]

substitute in the formula above

[tex]A=6,480(1+0.025*14)[/tex]

[tex]A=6,480(1+0.35)[/tex]

[tex]A=RS\ 8,748[/tex]
