Eva invested a certain amount of money at 10% interest and $15oo more tahn that amount at 11%. Her total yearly interest was $795. How much did she invest at each rate?
-----------------
Let amt. invested at 10% be "x"; interest on this is 0.10x dollars
-------------------
Amt. invested at 11% is "x+1500"; interest is 0.11(x+1500)=0.11x+165 dollars
-------------------
EQUATION:
interest + interest = 795 dollars
0.10x + 0.11x+165 = 795
0.21x = 630
x = $3000 (amt. invested at 10%)
x+1500 + $4500 (amt. invested at 11%)
--------------------------------------
