Solution
If the interest on 1700 rupees is 340 rupees for 2 years the rate of interest must be 10%.
Explanation:
Given:
Principal (P) = 1700 rupees,
Total interest (I) = 340 rupees
Time (T) = 2 years
Formula:
Rate of interest (R) = `("I"xx100)/("P"xx"T")`
Solution:
Rate of interest (R) = `(340xx100)/(1700xx2)`
= `34000/3400`
= 10%
