S.I AND C.I

S.I= PNR/100.
Amount of C.I =P(1+R/100)^N
1) Let the P = 1000,N = 3 years, R = 10 %
Find SI and CI
SI
1000*3*10/100 = Rs 300.
CI
Amount=11/10*11/10*11/10
=1331.
C.I = Amount-P =331.
2) The SI for certain sum of money for 2 years at 5 % p.a is Rs 80.So what is the CI for the
same sum.rate and period?
SI=80/2 =40 (for 1 year)
= 80+2= 82.
