Salma
invested a certain amount of money in a bank which gives an interest rate of
10% compounded annually. How much did she invest at the start if she got 4000
sh at the end of 2 years?
Solution
n=2, t=1,
R=10%, A2=4000, P=?
An
= P(1 + RT/100)n
A2
= P(1 + (10x1)/100)2
A2
= P(1 + 10/100)2
A2
= P(100/100 + 10/100)2
A2
= P(110/100)2 But
A2=4000,
4000 =
P(1.1)2
4000 = 1.21P
4000 = 1.21P
1.21 1.21
4000 = P
1.21
P = 3305.79
Hence at the start she invested Tsh 3305.79
