$50,000 borrowed from a bank for a simple interest of 8% p.a. for three years. What is the amount of interest to be paid on loan at the end of three year ?
Here,
Principal Amount = $50,000
Rate of interest = 8%
Number of years = 3
Terms used in the formula
SI - Simple Interest
R - Rate of interest
T - Number of years
\( \begin{align}SI &= P \times R \times T\\ &= \$50,000 \times 0.08 \times \ 3\\ &= \$12,000 \end{align} \)
Hence, the simple interest generated over these three years is $12,000
Interest paid on loan is $12,000
