Interest is the additional money paid for the usage of a certain amount. Keep in mind that interest problems can sometimes be solved without the application of interest or compound interest formulas at all. Always examine the answer choices for clues and look for opportunities to work backwards. 

Some Important Points to Note :

  • If the interest is calculated on same amount of money it is called the Simple Interest. Simple Interest will be the same for all the years. 
  • Interest which is calculated not only on the initial principal but also the accumulated interest of prior periods is called compound interest. 
  • Interest can be thought of as the rental cost of money. The math requires a solid grasp of percentages and exponents. Like Rates and Work questions, this concept can appear intimidating if you don't know the required formulas, but are actually simple to solve. 
Now let's have a look at some practice problems. Try to solve these on your own and check with the answers given below. We will update detailed solutions with explanations soon.
