A person invested a sum of money at 9% annual simple interest and invested twice that amount at 11% annual simple interest.
\n" ); document.write( " If the total yearly income from both investments was $1,395 how much was invested at each rate?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt invested at 9%
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "2x = amt invested at 11%
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a total interest equation
\n" ); document.write( ".09x + .11(2x) = 1395
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".09x + .22x = 1395
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".31x = 1395
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"1395%2F.31\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = $4500 invested at 9%
\n" ); document.write( "and, obviously:
\n" ); document.write( "2(4500) = $9000 invested at 11%
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this by finding the total interest with these values:
\n" ); document.write( ".09(4500) + .11(9000) =
\n" ); document.write( "405 + 990 = 1395
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
