What is an example of a 5% interest rate?
For simple interest: work out the interest for one period, and multiply by the number of periods. For compound interest: work out the interest for the first period, add it on and then calculate the interest for the next period, etc.
Simple interest is calculated as a percentage of the original amount borrowed (the principal) and remains the same over time. Compound interest, on the other hand, takes into account the accumulated interest as well, meaning that the amount owed grows at a faster rate and the total sum owed will be higher than with simple interest.

Interest, in its most simple form, is calculated as a percent of the principal. For example, if you borrowed $100 from a friend and agree to repay it with 5% interest, then the amount of interest you would pay would just be 5% of 100: \(\$ 100(0.05)=\$ 5\).

The balance is the total amount in the account at the end of the term, whose length is a time \(t\) in ...
