## Formulae:

### Simple Interest Formulae:

\begin{align}&P=\text{Principal Amount,} \\ &R=\text{Rate of Interest,} \\ &T=\text{Time Period,} \\ &S\,I=\text{Simple Interest}\end{align}

\begin{align}S\,I=\frac{P\times R\times T}{100}\end{align}

\begin{align}P=\frac{100\times S\,I}{R\times T}\end{align}

\begin{align}R=\frac{100\times S\,I}{P\times T}\end{align}

\begin{align}T=\frac{100\times S\,I}{P\times R}\end{align}

### Compound Interest Formulae:

\begin{align}&P=\text{Principal Amount,} \\ &R=\text{Rate of Interest,} \\ &T=\text{Time Period,} \\ &S\,I=\text{Simple Interest}\end{align}

\begin{align}C\,I=P{{\left( 1+\frac{R}{100} \right)}^{T}}\end{align}

### Profit and Loss Percentage:

\begin{align} Gain \,\%=\left( \frac{\ Gain \times 100\ }{Cost\ Price} \right) \end{align}

\begin{align} Loss \,\% =\left( \frac{\ Loss\times 100}{Cost\ Price} \right) \end{align}

\begin{align} Selling\ Price=\frac{(100+Gain \,\%)}{Cost\ Price}\times (Cost\ Price) \end{align}

\begin{align} Selling\ Price=\frac{(100-Loss\,\%)}{100}\times (Cost\ Price) \end{align}

\begin{align} Cost\ Price=\frac{(100\times Selling\ Price)}{\left( 100+Gain\,\% \right)} \end{align}

\begin{align} Cost\ Price=\frac{(100\times Selling\ Price)}{\left( 100-Loss\,\% \right)} \end{align}
