-A calculator that calculates simple interest given principal, annual rate of interest and time period in years.
+A calculator that calculates simple interest given the principal amount, annual rate of interest, and time period.
 
-```
-Input:
-   p, principal amount
-   t, time period in years
-   r, annual rate of interest
-Output
-   simple interest = p*t*r
-```
+### Input:
+- `p`: Principal amount  
+- `t`: Time period in years  
+- `r`: Annual rate of interest  
+
+### Output:
+- `simple interest = p * t * r`
+
+### Example:
+If `p = 1000`, `t = 2 years`, and `r = 5%`,  
+- `simple interest = 1000 * 2 * 0.05 = 100`
