COMPUTING INTEREST.-An ex.
change gives the following rule for
| computing interest, which, it says,
is SO simple and 80 true that every
, banker, broker. merchant, or clerk,
+ should post it up for reference
There being no such thing as irac-
, tiolr in it there is scarcely any liza.
, bilaty to error or mistake. BY no
p other arittmctical process can the
: desired information be obtained by
+ SO few figures -
e Six per cent,-Multiply any given
| number of dollars 10y the number of
= days OF interest desired. separate
. the right hand figures and divide
by sixty; the result is the true in.
. tercSt on such sum for such number
p of dayS,at six per cent.
i Eight per cent.-Multiply any
i given amount by the number of
: days which it is desired to ascertain
the interest, and divide by forty five
. and the result will bc the interest
of such amount for the time rcquir.
$ ed, at eight per cent.
i Ten per ccnt.-Multiply the same
- rs above. and divide by thirty six,
. aud ;hc result will show the rate OF
g ten per cent
