Jorge purchased municipal bonds which yield 6% annually and certificates of deposit which yield 8% annually. If Jorge’s initial investments amount to $11,000 and the annual income is $720, how much money is invested in bonds?
-----------
Using one variable:
Equation:
int + int = int
0.06x + 0.08(11,000-x) = 720
-----
6x + 88000 - 8x = 72000
--------------
-2x = -16000
x = $8000 (amt. invested at 6%)
11000 -x = $3000 (amt invested at 8%)
