Algebra.Com's Answer #196253 by drk(1908)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is an I = PRT problem. we have the formula \n" ); document.write( "I = PRT and another I = PRT. \n" ); document.write( "From above, we get \n" ); document.write( "I = x(.09)(1) \n" ); document.write( "and \n" ); document.write( "I = (6000-x)(.06)(1) \n" ); document.write( "since interest is equal set them equal to get \n" ); document.write( ".09x = 360 - .06x \n" ); document.write( "adding .06x we get \n" ); document.write( ".15x = 360 \n" ); document.write( "dividing, we get \n" ); document.write( "x = 2400 at 9% \n" ); document.write( "6000-x = 3600 at 6%. \n" ); document.write( " |
