1.)
Amount of installments y = $3000
NOTE: it should be $3000, not $300.
Let us assume the rate of interest be 'r', and the principal for the installments be x1, x2, x3,....,x7 for 7 installments respectively.
Therefore, for 1st installment,
y = x1*(1 + r/100)^1
=> x1 = y/(1+r/100) = y*K
where K = 1/(1+r/100)
For 2nd installment,
y = x2*(1+r/100)^2
=> x2 = y/(1+r/100)^2 = y*K^2
And so on up to the 7th installment.
Therefore, total principal,
P = 15618 = x1 + x2 + x3 + ..........+ x7
=> 15618 = ...
