A bank loaned out $7,500 part at 12% annual interest and the rest at 8% annual interest. The total interest earned for both loans was $680.00. How much was loaned at each rate?
12.00% per annum ------------- x
8.00% per annum ------------ y
total investment 75000
Interest----- $680.00
...
x+y=7500 ------------------------1
12.00% x+8.00% y=$680.00
Multiply by 100
12x+8y= $68,000.00 --------2
Multiply (1) by -12
we get
-12x-12 y=-90000
Add this to (2)
-4y=-$22,000.00
divide by-4
y=$5,500.00investment at 8.00%
Balance $2,000.00 investment at 12.00%
