Let x = the amount invested at 5% per annum. Then, ($25,000-x) would be the remainder invested at 4% per annum.
\n" ); document.write( "The the sum of the incomes earned on these two amounts can be expressed as (after changing the percentages to their decimal equivalents):
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.05x%2B0.04%2825000-x%29+-+1140\" Simplify and solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.05x%2B1000-0.04x+=+1140\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.01x+=+140\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+14000\" and...
\n" ); document.write( "\"25000-x+=+11000\"
\n" ); document.write( "$14,000 was invested @ 5% and $11,000 was invested @ 4%
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
