    Simple Interest

    Principal

    • The principal is the initial amount of money borrowed or invested
    • It is the base amount on which interest is calculated
    • Principal is typically represented by the symbol 'P'
    • Principal can be a lump sum or a series of payments

    Rate

    • The rate is the percentage at which interest is calculated
    • It is usually expressed as a decimal or a percentage
    • Rate is typically represented by the symbol 'R'
    • Rate can be annual, monthly, or for any other time period

    Time

    • Time is the duration for which the money is borrowed or invested
    • It is usually expressed in years, months, or days
    • Time is typically represented by the symbol 'T'
    • Time can be a fixed period or a variable period

    Note: The formula to calculate simple interest is:

    Simple Interest (SI) = (P x R x T)

    Where P is the principal, R is the rate, and T is the time.
