Q. 7. Find the sum on which the compound interest for 3 years at 10% per annum amounts to ₹ 1,655 .
Understand Compound Interest Formula: We know the formula for compound interest is A=P(1+nr)nt, where A is the amount after t years, P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate, and n is the number of times interest is compounded per year. Here, A=P+ compound interest, r=10% or 0.10, n=1 (since it's compounded annually), and A0 years.
Write Equation with Given Values: Given that the compound interest is ₹1,655, we can write the equation as P(1+10.10)(1×3)−P=1,655.
Simplify the Equation: Simplify the equation: P(1+0.10)3−P=1,655.
