You can put this solution on YOUR website!
total interest = (9% * x) + (10% * (250 + x))
\n" ); document.write( ".09x + .1(250 + x) = 101
\n" ); document.write( ".09x + 25 + .1x = 101
\n" ); document.write( ".19x = 76
\n" ); document.write( "x = 400
\n" ); document.write( "250 + x = 650
\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( ".09(400) + .1(650) = 101
\n" ); document.write( "36 + 65 = 101
\n" ); document.write( "101 = 101
\n" ); document.write( "checks OK \n" ); document.write( "
