Investing her bonus. Donna invested her $33,000 bonus
\n" ); document.write( "and received a total of $970 in interest after one year. If
\n" ); document.write( "part of the money returned 4% and the remainder 2.25%,
\n" ); document.write( "then how much did she invest at each rate?
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Eq: x + y = 33000 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "Interest Eq:0.04x + 0.025y = 970 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru Quantity Eq. by 4.
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru Interest Eq. by 100.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 4y = 4*33000
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 2.5y = 97000
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract the bottom from the top and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "1.5y = 35000
\n" ); document.write( "y = $23,333.33 (amt. invested at 2.25%)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "x+y = 33000
\n" ); document.write( "x + 23,333.33 = 33000
\n" ); document.write( "x = $9666.66 (amt. invested at 4%)
\n" ); document.write( "======================================
