Compound Interest
Definition
Compound (or compounding) interest is the interest on a loan or deposit calculated based on both initial
principal and the accumulated interest (i.e.capital gains or interest are re-invested to generate additional
earnings over time)
N.B: the principal for compound interest changes every year.
Formula:
Compound Interest = Amount (A) — Principal (P)
C . I = A — P ⋯ ⋯ ⋯⋯ ⋯(i)
where:
( )
n
R
Amount (A )=P 1+

Remember:
A – Amount
P – Original principal
R – Rate of interest per year
N – Number of years.
Example 3: Find the compound interest on N40,000 for 2 years at 10% per annum

COMMERCIAL ARITHMETIC
Objectives:
Solve simple commercial arithmetic involving discount.
Solve simple commercial arithmetic involving commission.
Solve simple commercial arithmetic involving installment buying.
Discount
Discount simply connotes a reduction in price of an article. Discount is expressed as percentage of the
marked price or catalogue price of an article.
The equation of the discount is; Sale Price — Discount =Cost
[[
Example 1: The sale price of a wrist watch is N20,000 if a discount of 25% is allowed, what is the price.

six by four blocks sold. If he sells 1000 6by4 blocks all at the rate of ₦20000, how much does he
receive as commission?
Solution
1000
Number of every 100 in 1000 blocks =

Commission on every 100 blocks = 10% of ₦22000

Find the capacity of a tank.
Find the depth of a tank.
Find the volume of a cuboids
Capacity
Capacity is the amount of liquid a container can hold. It is measured in liters. Thus 1000cm 3 = 1L
Example 1: Calculate the capacity of a drum 30cm in diameter and 90cm high (Take π=22/7)
