Question 178291: I need some help with this problem. I have worked it several diffrent ways and can not come up with the answer.
If $2000 is invested at 10% simple annual interest, how much should be invested at 12% annual simple interest so that the total yearly income from both investments is $5000?
THis is the way I tried it
.12x+.1(2000-x)=5000
.12x+200-.1x=5000
.02x+200=5000
-200 -200
.02x=4800
x=240,000
I know that is not the correct answer because of the value.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated!!

Question 178315This question is from textbook Math its Power and Utility
: Please help me, I have been trying to solve this for 2 days.
Jerry has just received an inheritance of $50,000, and he would like to use it to help him with his retirement. Since Jerry is 25 years old, he figures that the $50,000 can be invested for 40 years before he will need to use it for retirement. Jerry wants to know what interest rate would be necessary for the $50,000 to grow to provide an amount so that he can have a monthly income of $4,000 earned from the interest only. Assume that Jerry is able to invest in real estate and can earn a 12% return on his investment.
I=Prt; first I found out the amount Jerry would have after 40 years at 12% interest.
I=50000.00(.12)(40)
I=240,000.00
Then I took the 240,000.00 and used the same formula: I=Prt
4000.00=240,000.00(r)(1/12)
12*4000.=240,000.00(r)(1/12)*12
48000.00=240,000.00r (divide both sides by 240,000.00
I=.20 or 20%
I am doing this class online and so when I input the answer it tells me if the answer is correct or not. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. PLEASE HELP ME I AM DESPERATE AT THIS POINT!!!! Thank you so much in advance!!
