MULTIPLES FOR DAYS. 155 14. Construct the aliquot formulae for 1-12 mos. at the rates 31, 213. 15. Construct the aliquot formulae for 1-12 mos. at rates from 2 to 3 (by 8ths). 6. Days. Method of Multiples. Convert money into £ and decimals (to 3 places). Multiply (using methods of prediction, § vi) by the multiplier derived from the table corresponding to the product "days × rate.” Table of Interest on £1 at 1 p.c. Example 1. 531.582 9745 300 15947 2658 212 37 5 £1.8859 17s. 8d. Interest on £531. 11s. 7 d. for 37 days at 34 p.c. Example 2. Interest on £265. 13s. 84d. for 92 days at 21% p.c. Find Interest on EXAMPLES. 1. £712. 98. 101d. for 91, 95 days at 31, 21 16 3 7. Days. The Third, Tenth, and Tenth Rule. Make the denominator 73000. Find the corresponding numerator. Move the decimal point in the principal 5 places to the left. Multiply this principal (thus changed) by the numerator. Add to this product of it, then of this, then of this again. The answer is too great by 10000 (15 per mille). = Example. Int. on £612. 9s. 54d. for 93 days at 31. 1. £372. 8s. 41d. for 56, 89 days at 31, 416. 2. £712. 98. 7 d. for 167, 312 days at 23, 57. Reduce cancellation. 36500 to a simple fraction without Decimalise the principal to 3 places and move the decimal point to the left as many places as there are zeros in the denominator of the above fraction. Then decide by the method of prediction the no. of places which must be correct in the multiplication of the altered principal by the numerator of the fraction so as to ensure correctness to three places in the final answer after division by the denominator (without zeros)—the methods of approximation being employed for the multiplication and division. Multiply and divide accordingly. Example 1. £312. 13s. 41d. for 83 days at 3 p.c. 83 × 3 249 = 36500 36500 3.12667 x 249 will contain 3 integers. 365 has 3... there can only be 1 integer in the final answer. Hence we shall have 4 figures in the answer. And therefore we must have 4 figures correct in the multiplication, of which 3 are integers--thus we must get 1 place correct in the multiplication. The argument is put down actually thus: 3.12667 x 249=3 integers. 3 | 3 | 1+3=4-3=1 dec. place required. Example 2. £851. 178. 3 d. for 173 days at 21 p.c. Note 1. A rule of thumb for deciding the no. of places necessary is: Reverse multiplier and place the digit now in the unit-place under the last place but one of the altered principal. Note 2. This method surpasses all others in speed and convenience. Other forms of it are given on p. 143. COMMON METHODS.
