Let the sum be P and rate of interest be R.
Therefore, Interest = PNR/100
![straight I equals fraction numerator straight P cross times 3 cross times straight R over denominator 100 end fraction equals fraction numerator 3 PR over denominator 100 end fraction
If space rate space of space interest space is space straight R plus 3 comma space the space interest space would space be space straight I plus 1467
rightwards double arrow straight I plus 1467 equals fraction numerator 3 straight P left parenthesis straight R plus 3 right parenthesis over denominator 100 end fraction
rightwards double arrow straight I equals fraction numerator 3 straight P left parenthesis straight R plus 3 right parenthesis over denominator 100 end fraction minus 1467
rightwards double arrow fraction numerator 3 PR over denominator 100 end fraction equals fraction numerator 3 straight P left parenthesis straight R plus 3 right parenthesis over denominator 100 end fraction minus 1467
rightwards double arrow 1467 equals fraction numerator 3 straight P left parenthesis straight R plus 3 right parenthesis over denominator 100 end fraction minus fraction numerator 3 PR over denominator 100 end fraction equals fraction numerator 3 PR plus 9 straight P minus 3 PR over denominator 100 end fraction
rightwards double arrow fraction numerator 9 straight P over denominator 100 end fraction equals 1467
rightwards double arrow straight P equals fraction numerator 1467 cross times 100 over denominator 9 end fraction equals 163 cross times 100 equals 16300
Hence comma space the space sum space of space money space is space Rs. space 16300](https://images.topperlearning.com/topper/tinymce/cache/01bcb1b02d824e0021bc71a0ce9fa1bd.png)
