Answer 1

Answer:

1)  14080

2) 1408

3) 17036.80

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that 

Principal= 12800

Rate of interest =10% p.a

(i) We know that Interest for the first year=

(12800×10×1)/100

 = 1280

So the sum due at the end of first year= 12800+1280

   = 14080

                                                           

(ii) Principal for second year = 14080

So the interest for the second year

=(14080×10×1)/100

=1408

                                                     

iii) We know that Sum due at the end of second year

= 14080+1408

=15488

                                                         

Here

Principal for third year= 15488

Interest for the third year= (15488×10×1)/100

                                      =1548.80

So the total amount due to him at the end of third year= 15488+1548.80

                                       = 17036.80
