How is simple interest calculated?

• On the principal amount only.

• On the total amount.

• On the principal and interest.

• On the interest only.

What is the formula for simple interest?

• SI = P * T / R

• SI = P * R * T / 100

• SI = P + R + T

• SI = P * R / T

How does compound interest differ from simple interest?

• It is calculated on the total amount.

• It is calculated on the interest only.

• It is calculated on both principal and accumulated interest.

• It is calculated on the principal only.

What is the formula for compound interest?

• CI = P + R + T

• CI = P * T / R

• CI = P * (1 + R/100)^T - P

• CI = P * R / T
