Susan purchased some municipal bonds yielding 9% annually and some certificates of deposit yielding 10% annually. If Susan’s investment amounts to $17,000 and the annual income is $1640, how much money is invested in bonds and how much is invested in certificates of deposit?
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "Value: b + c = 17000
\n" ); document.write( "Interest: 0.09b + 0.10c = 1640
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru 1st Eq. by 9
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru 2nd Eq by 100
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "9b + 9c = 9*17000
\n" ); document.write( "9b + 10c = 164000
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 1st from 2nd and solve for \"c\":
\n" ); document.write( "c = $11,000 (Invested in certificates)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Since b + c = 17000, b = $6000 (Invested in bonds)
