Algebra.Com's Answer #17197 by mathtech5(4)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x represent the amount invested in the 10%. Then (x+100) would be the amount invested at 9%. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Set up the equation: .1x + .09(x+1000)= 150\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " .1x + .09x + 100 = 150 \n" ); document.write( " .19x + 100 = 150 (subtract 100 from both sides) \n" ); document.write( " .19x = 50 (divide by .19) \n" ); document.write( " x = 263.16\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the amount invested at 10% was $263.16 and the amount invested in 9% was $1263.16. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
