Question

use the simple interest formula. 
p=? r=8%, t=3 months, i=$44          what is the answer for the principal?

Answer 1

I=PRT
8%/100=.08
$44=P(3)(.08)
14.67=P(.08)
P=183.33333333

Answer 2

I=PRT
where I=interest
P=principal (amount invested)
R=rate
T=time period
44=P*8%*3
44=P*0.24
P=44/0.24
P=183.333333 (repeating decimal)
