This document discusses and provides examples of simple interest and compound interest calculations.
Simple interest is calculated as Principal x Rate x Time divided by 100. Compound interest is calculated by compounding the interest earned in each time period. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating simple interest on loans over different time periods and finding interest rates based on the interest earned. Compound interest examples show calculating interest compounded annually and quarterly. Problems are also given involving finding principal amounts based on differences in simple and compound interest amounts or times taken for the amount to multiply.
