Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let's call the amount invested at 10% x and the amount at 12% y
x+y= 8000 And we can say that x= 8000-y
The income is:
.10x + .12y = $900
And we said that x= 8000-y, therefore:
.10(8,000 - y) + .12y = 900
800 - .10y+.12y= 900 Subtract 800 on both sides and add the y's
.02y= 100 Divide both sides by .02
y= 5000 This is the amount invested at 12%. And 8,000-5,000= 3,000 at 10%
Proof:
5000�.12= 600
3,000�.10= 300
600+300= 900 We have the right answer.
