Question 1058622: annette invested 8,400 in bank A at a certain interest rate per year and 7000 in bank B at an interest rate 1.5% higher. If the total income from the two investments is 751.80 at what interest rate was each amount invested?
Answer by solve_for_x(190) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x represent the rate at Bank A.
The rate at Bank B is then x + 1.5.
The total interest earned is then:
(8400)(x/100) + (7000)(x + 1.5)/100 = 751.80
Multiplying through by 100 gives:
8400x + 7000x + 10500 = 75180
15400x + 10500 = 75180
15400x = 75180 - 10500
15400x = 64680
x = 64680 / 15400
x = 4.2
Solution: The rate at Bank A is 4.2%, and the rate at Bank B is 4.2% + 1.5% = 5.7%
Check:
8400(0.042) + 7000(0.057) = 352.80 + 399.00 = 751.80
