begin mathsize 14px style A s s u m i n g space t h e space i n t e r e s t space i s space c o m p o u n d space i n t e r e s t comma
L e t space P space b e space t h e space p r i n c i p a l comma space R space t h e space r a t e space o f space i n t e r e s t space a n d space N space b e space t h e space n u m b e r space o f space t e r m s
F o r m u l a space f o r space c a l c u l a t i n g space A m o u n t space f o r space c o m p o u n d space i n t e r e s t
A m o u n t space equals P open parentheses 1 plus R over 100 close parentheses to the power of N
therefore 2 P space equals P open parentheses 1 plus R over 100 close parentheses cubed space space space... g i v e n open parentheses because A m o u n t space i s space d o u b l e space t h e space p r i n c i p a l close parentheses
therefore 2 equals open parentheses 1 plus R over 100 close parentheses cubed
therefore 1 plus R over 100 equals cube root of 2 almost equal to 1.26
therefore R space almost equal to space 26 percent sign
H e n c e comma space t h e space r a t e space o f space i n t e r e s t space almost equal to 26 percent sign end style
