Question 134129: Hello,
I am trying to solve a few word problems...this one has to do with interest and I'm afraid I'm having trouble getting the right answer. The key word is annually interest right? so that would be per year? Any help would be greatly appreciated. My numbers arent coming out right because when I check it, it doesnt add up.
If you invest a certain amount of money in a CD that pays 6% annual interest and $550 more than that in an account that pays 7.2% annually, how much money do you have in each account if the total interest for a year is $594? Be sure to include all the work and identify the rate of each investment.
Thank you,
Mrs. Gibson
