Compound interest and depreciation are essential concepts in GCSE mathematics,... Show more
This page focuses on solving compound interest GCSE questions and answers using different methods. It demonstrates how to calculate compound interest for various time periods and interest rates.
The first example shows how to calculate compound interest for £6000 invested at 2.4% per annum over 3 years. It presents two methods:
Example: Tim invests £6000 at 2.4% compound interest per annum. After 3 years, the account balance is £6442.45.
The page also includes a problem involving £9000 invested at 2.1% compound interest for 5 years, solved using the formula method.
Formula: Compound Interest Formula: A = P^n, where A is the final amount, P is the principal, r is the interest rate (as a decimal), and n is the number of years.
These examples help students understand how to apply the compound interest formula GCSE Edexcel and other exam boards require.
This page covers depreciation calculations and provides additional compound interest examples, addressing both simple interest and compound interest GCSE foundation notes.
Key topics covered:
Definition: Depreciation is the decrease in value of an asset over time, often calculated as a percentage of the original value.
Example: A car bought for £15000, depreciating at 29% per year, is worth £5368.67 after 3 years.
The page emphasizes the importance of understanding the difference between appreciation (compound interest) and depreciation, both of which use similar calculation methods but with opposite effects.
Highlight: Students should pay attention to whether they need to calculate appreciation (compound interest) or depreciation, as this affects whether they add or subtract the percentage from 100%.
This comprehensive guide covers compound interest GCSE formula and depreciation calculations, essential for GCSE foundation mathematics. It provides step-by-step examples and practice questions to help students master these important financial concepts.
Key points:
Highlight: This guide is particularly useful for students preparing for GCSE exams, offering a range of compound interest questions with answers and depreciation problems.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
