How To Find The Principle Amount If Rate Of Interest, Time And Total Amount Is Known?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    A = P(1+rt) if the interest is not compounded.
    A = total amount; P = principal amount; r = interest rate for a period; t = number of periods

    P = A/(1+rt)    (divide both sides by (1+rt))

    Example
    An amount of $1200 is the balance after 2 years at an interest rate of 10%.

    P = $1200/(1+.10*2) = $1200/(1.20) = $1000
    _____
    If the interest is compounded n times per period,

    P = A/(1+r/n)nt
