Interest (Simple) - Interest from Principle, Rate, and Time

Level 3

This math topic focuses on calculating simple interest given the principal, the annual interest rate, and the time period in years. The problems are designed to teach students how to apply the simple interest formula to find the amount of interest accrued over a defined period, using various scenarios with different principal amounts, interest rates, and time durations. Each problem offers multiple-choice answers, allowing learners to select the correct amount of interest calculated from the provided data. This is part of a broader unit on percents and simple interest.
