Module 3 - Solving Problems Involving Simple and Compound Interest
For you to begin, consider the previous lesson which is essential in this topic. You already learned that in simple
interest the basis of computation is the original principal. There are also different formula to be used in finding the
different components in simple interest and these are the following:

In solving problems involving simple interest, we can follow the 4 –step rule of George Polya

In solving the problems, we will use the steps provided.

1. Mariel deposited ₱ 16,000.00 in a bank that offers a simple interest rate of 1.75%. If she placed the money for 7
years, how much interest will she earn?

Explore. After reading and understanding the problem, it will be determined that the required component is the simple
interest and the following are the known values:

2. Janice has a loan with an interest rate of 1.5%. The amount of interest is ₱ 2,250.00 for a period of 3 years. How
much is her loan?

Explore. The known values are

Check. As for checking, the formula in finding the simple interest can be used. Thus, the amount of her loan is ₱
50,000.00

Solving Problems Involving Compound Interest


In choosing the terms, it is important to analyze first the component and the conditions presented so that you can arrive
at a wise decision. This is also the thing that you must remember in solving problems involving compound interest.
In solving problems involving compound interest, we can follow the 4 –step rule of George Polya

Solving the problems we will use the steps provided.
