Of the $50,000 that Natasha pocketed
\n" ); document.write( "on her last real estate deal, $20,000 went to charity.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "She invested part of the remainder in Dreyfus New Leaders Fund
\n" ); document.write( "with an annual yield of 16% and the rest in Templeton
\n" ); document.write( "Growth Fund with an annual yield of 25%. If she made
\n" ); document.write( "$6060 on these investments in 1 year, then how much did she
\n" ); document.write( "invest in each fund?
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Eq::: x + y = 30000
\n" ); document.write( "Interest Eq::: 0.16x+0.25y = 6060
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the Quantity Eq. by 16
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the Interest Eq. by 100
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "16x + 16y = 16*30000
\n" ); document.write( "16x + 25y = 606000
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "9y = 126000
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "y = $14000 (amt. invested at 25%
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Since x+y= 30000, x = $16000 (amt. invested at 16%)
\n" ); document.write( "==============
