Basic Terms:
⮚INTEREST: It is money paid by a borrower for using the lender's money for a specified
period of time. Denoted by I.
⮚TIME: The time period for which the money is borrowed. Denoted by T.
⮚RATE OF INTEREST: The rate at which interest is calculated on the original sum. Denoted
by R.
When the rates are different for different years, say R1%, R2%, and R3% for 1 year, 2 years, and 3-year resp.
Then,
Amount = P (1 + R1/100) (1 + R2/100) (1 + R3/100)
