TOPIC: EXACT AND ORDINARY TIME
Ordinary interest is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year or a 30-day
month; exact interest is calculated on a 365-day year. The interest formulas
for both ordinary and exact interest are actually the same, with time slightly
differing when given as number of days.
NOTE: SAME FORMULA USED FOR EXACT AND ORDINARY
EXAMPLE QUESTION: What is the exact simple interest using actual time, if Lyka borrowed P15, 000.00 from
the bank on March 19, 2020 which is to be repaid on Aug 6, 2020 at 3% simple interest?

4. hypothesis = T, conclusion = F
EXAMPLE: Conjunction of two conditional statements where the antecedent and consequent of the first
statement have been switched in the second statement.
EXAMPLE: Given these three propositions: p : She was enrolled in this class. q: She passed the test. r: She left
