Solution Let the principal ( P ) = Rs x Amount = A = Rs 3x Simple interest ( I ) = A - P I = 3x - x I = 2x Rate of interest ( R ) = 40/3 % Let time = T years PTR/ 100 = I T = ( 100 I ) / PR = ( 100 × 2x ) / ( x × 40/3 ) = ( 100 × 2 × 3 ) / 40 = 15 Therefore , T = 15 years I hope this helps you.Get the answer to your homework problem.

01:32 Absolute Value - Example 1 In mathematics, the absolute value or modulus |x| of a real number x is its numerical value without regard to its sign. The absolute value of a number may be thought of as its distance from zero along a number line; this interpretation is analogous to the distance function assigned to a real number in the real number system. For example, the absolute value of ?4 is 4, and the absolute value of 4 is 4, both without regard to sign.

Oe In what time a sum of money will triple itself at a rate of simple interest of 4% per annum?⇒T=x×152x×100=340=13. 3 years.
How long will it take for the sum of money to triple itself at the rate of 20 %?Detailed Solution
Let the sum of money be Rs. P. ∴ The required time is 10 years.
How long does it take a given amount of money to triple itself if the money is invested at a nominal interest rate of 12% compounded monthly?Answer: Approximately 13.5 years to triple. Make a note that doubling or tripling time is independent of the principal. In the previous problem, notice that the principal was not given and that the variable P cancelled.
How long will it take to double your money at 5% per year simple interest?According to the Rule of 72, it would take about 14.4 years to double your money at 5% per year.
