$p = 9000$ , $r = 10 %$ , $t = 4$

Step 1

Simple interest is calculated on the original principal only. Accumulated interest from prior periods is not used in calculations for the following periods.

$i = p \cdot r \cdot t$

Step 2

Solve the equation for $i$ .

Step 2.1

Remove parentheses.

$i = p \cdot r \cdot t$

Step 2.2

Multiply $p r$ by $t$ .

$i = p r t$

Step 3

Substitute the known values into the formula.

$i = (9000) \cdot (10 %) \cdot (4)$

Step 4
