    XX is 48000

    Explanation:

    The use of Microsoft excel is essential for this.

    Consider that the principal is XX

    and time for repayment is 10 years

    Simple Interest = (Principal*Rate*Time) / 100

    If the 1st year interest = 3600

    Then Principal = (3600*100) / rate

    And rate can be calculated as (3600*100) / principal

    But in this case, since we are dealing with percentage in rate, say

    rate = 3600/principal

    The rate will be equal to 7.5%

    If rate is 7.5%

    Then Principal = (3600*100) / 7.5

    Principal XX = 48000
