A man deposited $6800 into two accounts. One account earns interest at 8% and the other at 10.5%. The total interest for one year is $669. Find the amount deposited in each account.
----------------
Let amount invested at 8% be x; interest on this is 0.08x dollars
-----------------------
Amt invested at 10.5% is "6800-x"; interest on this is 714-0.105x dollars
--------------------------
EQUATION:
interest + interest = 669 dollars
0.08x + 714-0.105x = 669
-0.025x = -45
x = $1800.00 (amount invested at 8%)
6800-x = $5000 (amount invested at 10.5%
