3.2 Interest rates
3.2.1 Simple interest
I = Prt
• Determine the amount of interest received if R1 200 is invested for 4 years at 14%
simple interest per year.
I = Prt
= 1 200 × 14% × 4
= 1 200 × 0,14 × 4
= 672,00
The interest received is R672,00. We cannot use the financial keys because there is no
exponent in the formula.
