When asked for the amount of interest to be paid, this is the perfect formula to use. However, sometimes you will be required to find the principal, rate or time period for a loan, so rearranging this formula may make things simpler. If you are finding the principal, you may rearrange the equation so P is on the left of the equation, and I, r and t are on the right. This is sometimes called 'making P the subject'. You calculator can do this easily for you.
This quiz Read moretests your ability to find the Interest, Principal, rate, time and total amount on simple interest problems.
