Understanding Simple Interest: Key Concepts and Practice Problems
This agenda covers essential concepts in understanding simple interest, including how to determine the need to use the percentage change equation. We will review previous lessons, outline notes on simple interest, and work through examples and exercises. Simple interest is the money earned or paid when funds are deposited or borrowed. The seminar will explain how to calculate interest using the formula I = PRT (Interest = Principal x Rate x Time), as well as provide two practical exercises to solidify understanding.

Interest is the money earned that is placed in account • Interest is the money given to the loaner so money can be borrowed • We earn interest when we put money in a bank • We pay interest when borrow money • The bank will give you 4.5% on the money deposited into its savings account • When you borrow money to buy a house, a bank can lean you the money, but you will pay them 5% extra on the money you borrowed
How to figure • To find simple interest you multiply the amount of money you put in account, the time it is in account and the percent of interest promised • Interest = principle x time x interest • I=prt • Principle= the amount put in account or borrowed • Rate= the interest promised on percent T= time in years or part of year
You try • You put 1500 in a saving for 2 years at a rate of 5%? What is the interest earned.
Another example • Of you borrowed 1000 at a rate of 4% for 6 months how much would ypu have to pay back • *remember you have to pay back original amount borrowed • Also 6 months is part or decimal of a year
