By the rate and time....

You can use a simple interest formula for finding the principle amount. It is as follows:
P= I/rt
where
p is the principal amount
I is the interest amount
r is the rate of interest
T is the time for investment

I gave your answer five stars because it is basically correct. I didn't deduct for spelling, like the fact that you used upper and lower case P for principal, and T for time, and that you spelled principal correctly in one place, and incorrectly (as the questioner did) in another.

P=?, T=5years, R=5%, A=5550
Please solve it & also advice me how you can solve it By taking these formulas
I=p*r*t & A=P+I

I x r x t  ex: I = 680$ p = ?  R = 2%  t = 4 years   680 x .02 x 4 = 896 and 896 is your answer! Hope I helped!

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
