The formula I = PRT where I = Interest, P = principal, R = rate, and T = time is used to calculate the amount of simple interest earned. Solve this formula for T. A) T = I + PR B) T = I - PR C) T = I/PR D) T= IPR

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm I = PRT\] cancel out pr from right side how would you do that ?

OpenStudy (bringmethehorizon_):

This is probably really simple, but i'm confused.

OpenStudy (bringmethehorizon_):

What do you mean?

Nnesha (nnesha):

alright to solve for T we should move `PR` to the left side

Nnesha (nnesha):

it's `p times r times t` to cancel pr u should apply the opposite of multiplication

OpenStudy (bringmethehorizon_):

So it would be, T=IPR

OpenStudy (bringmethehorizon_):

Wait

OpenStudy (bringmethehorizon_):

Division

Nnesha (nnesha):

ya!

OpenStudy (bringmethehorizon_):

So, c?

Nnesha (nnesha):

it's already multiplied by y so you should divide both sides by pr

Nnesha (nnesha):

right

OpenStudy (bringmethehorizon_):

Thank you so much! :)

Nnesha (nnesha):

subtraction< ----->addition multiplication <---> division
