Question-01:
If Mr. Kareem borrowed $4000 at 8% simple interest annually to purchase a computer and pays a
monthly payment for four years, then find the following
(a) Amount of interest to be paid
(b) Total amount to be paid back
Solution :-
(a) The amount of interest to be paid:
Interest = Principal × Rate × Time
= $4000 × 0.08 × 4
= $1280Ans
(b) The total amount to be repaid:
Total amount = Principal + Interest
= $4000 + $1280
= $5280Ans
Question-02:
The sum of Rs. 820 is to be divided among Ali, Fakhar and Zahid according to the ratio 3 : 4 : 5.
How much does each one receives?
SOLUTION:-
The total ratio is 3 + 4 + 5 = 12.
To find Ali’s share, we can calculate:
= (3/12) * Rs. 820 = Rs. 205.
For Fakhar’s share:
=(4/12) * Rs.820
Rs. 273.33
And for Zahid’s share:
(5/12) * Rs. 820 = Rs. 341.67
So, Ali receives Rs. 205, Fakhar
receives around Rs. 273.33, and
Zahid receives around Rs. 341.67.
