Question

What is the difference between simple and compound interest?

write a simple definition of both and how to solve them.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Examples. A friend asks to borrow $300 and agrees to repay it in 30 days with 3% interest. How much interest will you earn? Simple interest is calculated on the principal, or original, amount of a loan. Compound interest is calculated on the principal amount and also on the accumulated interest of previous periods, and can thus be regarded as "interest on interest."
