 Lesson
Solving Problems Involving
1 Simple Interest

One of the most common scenario in our daily lives is engaging ourselves in a
business transaction. It is all but natural because many actions that we undertake
involves money. Moreover, when we are talking about money we usually involve
ourselves with the different problems that need solutions especially when it comes
to the computation of interest and the total amount to be paid at the end of a
particular term. So, are you ready to systematically solve problems involving simple
interest?

What’s In

For you to begin, consider the previous lesson which is essential in this topic.

You already learned that in simple interest the basis of computation is the original
principal. There are also different formula to be used in finding the different
components in simple interest and these are the following:

𝐼𝐼𝑠𝑠 = 𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃 ; simple interest

𝐹𝐹 = 𝑃𝑃(1 + 𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟) or = 𝑃𝑃 + 𝐼𝐼𝑠𝑠 ; maturity value

𝐼𝐼𝑠𝑠
𝑃𝑃 = ; principal or present value
𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟

where:

P= principal or present value

F = maturity value

r= rate of interest

t= time in years
Is = Simple Interest

5 CO_Q2_General Mathematics SHS

Module 3
Let us consider the following examples:

1. Find Is, if P = ₱ 4,500.00, t= 3 and r = 2.5% = 0.025 (in decimal form)

𝐼𝐼𝑠𝑠 = 4500(0.025)(3)

𝐼𝐼𝑠𝑠 = ₱ 337.50
The simple interest is ₱ 337.50

2. If P = ₱ 3,375.00, r= 1.2% and t= 2 years find F

𝐹𝐹 = 𝑃𝑃(1 + 𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟)

𝐹𝐹 = 3375[1 + (0.012)(2)]
F= ₱ 3,456.00
The maturity value is ₱ 3,456.00

Notes to the Teacher

Advise the learners to use scientific calculators because of the
nature of the numbers that will be computed. Remind them as well
that there are some formulas that will be used in this module that
has a different representation of variables in other books. Both will
yield the same answer as long as they represent the same
components.

 What’s New

This or That

Febie is planning to invest her money in a bank. She researched some banks which
will make a better offer. She narrowed down her choices to these two banks which
have the following offers:

Insurance Bank, a bank that accepts an initial deposit of

₱ 5,000.00 with a simple interest of 1.5% in 3 years.

Trust Bank, a bank that accepts an initial deposit of

₱ 5,000.00 with a simple interest of 1.75% for 6 years

Questions:

1. What are the factors that Febie can consider in choosing a bank?
________________________________________________________________________

2. What are the differences between the offers made by the two banks?
________________________________________________________________________

3. How much interest is offered by the Insurance Bank? Trust Bank?

_______________________________________________________________________

4. If you were Febie, which will you choose between the two banks? Why?

5. If Febie will invest ₱ 5,000.00, how much will be its maturity value in Insurance
Bank? Trust Bank?
_______________________________________________________________________

6. If you were Febie, what will be your basis in choosing a bank? Which bank will
you choose?

_______________________________________________________________________

7 CO_Q2_General Mathematics SHS

Module 3
 What is It

If you noticed in the activity, there are two banks that offer different condition in
earning interest. Insurance Bank offers a rate that is smaller compared to Trust
bank. However, the time covered by the Insurance Bank is shorter. If Febie will
deposit on Insurance bank her ₱5,000.00 savings will yield an interest of ₱225.00
after 3 years. On the other hand, if she chooses to deposit her money in Trust Bank
the interest that she will earn is ₱525.00 but this will only be realized after 6 years.
The choice for the bank where Febie will invest her money will depend upon her
prerogative if she wanted to have a long term investment she can choose Trust Bank
but if she thinks that she will need money in the near future she can invest in the
Insurance Bank. There are times that the amount of return is not the only factor to
consider in our choice since there are other components involved in the simple
interest formula and that is what we will explore in this lesson by solving problems
involving simple interest.

In solving problems involving simple interest, we can follow the 4 –step rule of George
Polya.

George Polya’s 4 – Step Rule

Explore. This step involves careful reading, analyzing,
identifying the given and unknown facts in the problem and
expressing the unknown in terms of variables.
Plan. In this step, writing an equation that describes the
relationships between or among the variables is involved.
Solve. This step requires working out with the written
equation and other number relations to determine the
required quantities that answer the question in the problem.
Check. The final step that employs the use of other
approaches to examine the appropriateness of the answer.

Let us take the following examples.

1. Mariel deposited ₱ 16,000.00 in a bank that offers a simple interest rate of

1.75%. If she placed the money for 7 years, how much interest will she earn?

2. Janice has a loan with an interest rate of 1.5%. The amount of interest is
₱ 2,250.00 for a period of 3 years. How much is her loan?

In solving the problems, we will use the steps provided.

1. Mariel deposited ₱ 16,000.00 in a bank that offers a simple interest rate of

1.75%. If she placed the money for 7 years, how much interest will she earn?

Explore. After reading and understanding the problem, it will be determined that
the required component is the simple interest and the following are the known
values:

P = ₱ 16,000.00

r = 1.75% or 0. 0175

t= 7 years

Plan. Since the value of simple interest is required, the formula 𝐼𝐼𝑠𝑠 = 𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃 will be
applied.

Solve: Using the formula we will arrive at:

𝐼𝐼𝑠𝑠 = 16,000(0.0175)(7)

𝐼𝐼𝑠𝑠 = ₱ 1,960.00

Check. As for checking, we can use other formulas related to simple interest and
substitute the value of simple interest. If the obtained value is any of the given facts,
then you obtain the correct answer.

Mariel earned ₱ 1,960.00 interest.

 2. Janice has a loan with an interest rate of 1.5%. The amount of interest is
₱ 2,250.00 for a period of 3 years. How much is her loan?

Explore. The known values are

𝐼𝐼𝑠𝑠 = ₱ 2,250.00

r = 1.5% or 0.015

t = 3 years

The required value is the Principal or present value

Plan. Since the problem requires the present value or the principal the formula to
be used is

𝐼𝐼𝑠𝑠
𝑃𝑃 =
𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟

Solve: Using the formula, we will arrive at:

𝐼𝐼𝑠𝑠
𝑃𝑃 =
𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟

2,250
𝑃𝑃 =
(0.015)(3)

𝑃𝑃 = ₱ 50,000

Check. As for checking, the formula in finding the simple interest can be used.

Thus, the amount of her loan is ₱ 50,000.00

Solving Problems Involving
2 Compound Interest
There are instances wherein the borrower was surprised because the amount of the
outstanding balance was changed when they failed to pay their monthly dues. This
happens because instead of simple interest the lender use compound interest in
computing the maturity value. As a borrower or investor, we must be aware with the
different conditions stated in any transactions we engaged in. Our ability to be
critical in whatever transactions that we will do, will be of great help in this topic
which is solving problems involving compound interest.

What’s In

Before starting this lesson, consider the previous module which is essential in this
topic.

You already learned that in compound interest the basis of computing the interest
is not only the principal but also the accumulated interest until such term.

There is also different formula in getting the different components of the compound
interest and they are the following:

𝐹𝐹 = 𝑃𝑃(1 + 𝑟𝑟)𝑡𝑡

𝐹𝐹 = 𝑃𝑃(1 + 𝑗𝑗)𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 ; maturity value for compounding more than once a year

𝐼𝐼𝑐𝑐 = 𝐹𝐹 − 𝑃𝑃 ; Compound Interest

𝐹𝐹
𝑃𝑃 = ; present value
(1+𝑗𝑗)𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚

𝑖𝑖 (𝑚𝑚)
j=
𝑚𝑚

14 CO_Q2_General Mathematics SHS

Module 3
Where:
F= maturity value
Ic = compound interest
P= present value or principal amount
t = time in years
r = rate of interest
j= rate of interest for each conversion period
m=frequency of conversion
𝑖𝑖 (𝑚𝑚) =annual rate of interest
n= frequency of conversion x time in years
Consider the example below:

If P= ₱ 20,500.00, r= 2% and compounded annually for 3 years, find Ic and F

𝐹𝐹 = 𝑃𝑃(1 + 𝑟𝑟)𝑡𝑡
𝐹𝐹 = 20,500(1 + 0.02)3
F= ₱ 21,754.76
𝐼𝐼𝑐𝑐 = 𝐹𝐹 − 𝑃𝑃
𝐼𝐼𝑐𝑐 = 𝐹𝐹 − 𝑃𝑃
𝐼𝐼𝑐𝑐 = ₱ 1,254.76
The maturity value is ₱ 21,754.76 and the compound interest is ₱ 1,254.76

Notes to the Teacher

Advise the learners to use scientific calculators because of the
nature of the numbers that will be computed. Remind them as
well that there are some formulas that will be used in this module

Module 3
 What is It

In the previous activity, the type of interest that was used is compound In the
previous activity, the type of interest that was used is compound interest. However,
there are different terms and conditions that were used. For Miguel to choose wisely
the terms he will use for his loan application, there is a need for him to analyze the
given conditions first. If he will choose to apply for a loan with 1.15% interest
compounded semi - annually for 3 years he will need to pay an interest amounting
to ₱ 1,749.99. However, if he chooses to apply a loan at 1.25%interest compounded
annually for 3 years he will need to pay ₱ 1,898.54. So, interest wise it is better to
apply for a loan with 1.15% interest compounded semi – annually for 3 years.

In choosing the terms, it is important to analyze first the component and the
conditions presented so that you can arrive in wise decision. This is also the things
that you must remember in solving problems involving compound interest.
