A weaver Cooperative society takes a loan of ₹15,000 at the time of buying a power loom. After 5 yrs. the society has to repay ₹22125 for recovering the loan. Let us determine the rate of simple interest in percent per annum.
Interest = Amount – Principle
⇒ I = Rs. 22125 – Rs. 15000
⇒ I = Rs. 7125
P = Rs. 15000, r = ?, t = 5 yrs and I = Rs. 7125
As we know,

⇒ r = 9.5
Hence, rate of simple interest per annum is 9.5%.
