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
