  • A N180.00
  • B N165.00
  • C N150.00
  • D N250.00
  • E N200.00
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
S.I = \(\frac{PTR}{100}\)
T = 4yrs, R = 8%, a = N330.00
330 - P = \(\frac{PTR}{100}\), A = P + I
i.e. A = P + \(\frac{PTR}{100}\)
330 = P + \(\frac{P(4) (8)}{100}\)
33000 = 32P + 100p
132P = 33000
P = N250.00
