  1. Answer:

    Simple Interest = Amount – Principal

    = 44,500 – 40,000

    = 4,500

    .

    T = 75 Days

    = 2½ months

    .

    r = \frac{si \times 100}{p \times t}r=

    p×t

    si×100

    .

    r = \frac{4500 \times 100}{40000 \times \frac{5}{2} }r=

    40000×

    2

    5

    4500×100

    In tha above step you can directly divide 40000 by 2 to get

    r = \frac{4500 \times 100}{20000 \times 5}r=

    20000×5

    4500×100

    r = \frac{9}{2}r=

    2

    9

    r = 4.5\%r=4.5%
