X.

1 plus the product of the rate and time.

149. Given the Amount, Principal, and Rate. Find the Time.

lint From formula 1, p + prt = a. lint Transpose p, prt = a - p. lint Divide by pr, t = a - ppr. rint(Formula 4.)

Subtract the principal from the amount, and divide the result by the product of the principal and rate.

150. Given the Amount, Principal, and Time. Find the Rate.

lint From formula 1, p + prt = a. lint Transpose p, prt = a - p. lint Divide by pt, r = a - ppt. rint(Formula 5.)

Subtract the principal from the amount, and divide the result by the product of the principal and time.
