LAW, ti!. 7.
l NTEREST, is the premium or money paid for the
loanor ufe of money ; and is dillinguiOled into twO
kinds, fimpleand compuund.
Simple interell is lhdt IVhieh is paid for Ihe princi–
pal, or fum lent, at a cenain rale or
allo~'anee
made
by laIV, or agreement of parties, whereby fo much as
51. or 61.
01
any other fum, is pald for 1001. lent
out for one year; a·.d more or lefs proponionally for
greater or le!Ter (ums, and (or more or le(s ¡ime. For
example, if it is 51. to 1001 for one ¡,ear, it is 21.
lOS. lor half a year, and 101. for tIVO years: al(o
10
I
for one year of 200I and 51. for half ayear;
and fo on, (or other fu:ns and times . Thus, as the
law. or agreement o( parties, fixe, acenain ratio, or,
as IVe call it, rate o( interefl, which is (omuchon the
IOC
I for one year; fromthis we can eafily find the
proportional interefl on 11. for one year, belng plain–
ly the
m
pan of the iAterefl of 1001 (o if this is 51.
that is .05 1 if Ihis is 61. that is .061 and if this is
51. tO s. or 5 51. that is .055 1.
Wherefore, if lVe
underfmnd the rate of ;merefl to be the interefl of 11.
for one year, tbe morecommon quellions about fimple
interell will relate
te
tlte(e four things,
viz.
any prin–
cipal (um, its inlerefl, the time i" which it gives that
interell , and the tate, 01' intetell of 11. for on; year;
according to which, that principal, interefl, and time, are
adjulled t9one another.
From which we have four problems; in the rules
whmof lVe (uppofethe principal and interefl exprelk'd
in thedenomination of pOllnds, by reducing IVhat isle(s
than 11. tO a dte;mal of 11. and the time

Rule: Muhiply the principal tate, and time, con–
tinually into one another; the produél is the intererl
fougl:t.
Ob(crve, ir IVe exprefs the principal by p, tite in–
teren by

the time by 1, and the tate by r, then
this rule is thus repre« nted.
