A sum of money amounts to Rs. 7719.8 at the rate of 10% compounded annually for 3 years. The sum of money is
Let the sum of money be Rs. x.
We know that,
Amount compounded in ‘n’ years = P × [1 + (R/100)]n
Where, P = Principle Amount, R = Rate of interest
Rs. x amounts to Rs. 7719.8 the rate of 10% compounded annually for 3 years.
⇒ 7719.8 = x × [1 + (10/100)]3
⇒ 7719.8 = x × 1.13
⇒ x = 7719.8/1.13 = Rs. 5800
∴ The sum of money = Rs. 5800
