Fawn invested a certain amount of money at 3% interest and $1250 more than that amount at 5%. Her total yearly interest was $134.50. How much did she invest at each rate?
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let amount invest at 3% be \"x\"; interest on thatis 0.03x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "Amount invested at 5% is \"x+1250\"; interest on that is 0.05x+62.5
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "interest + interest = 134.5
\n" ); document.write( "0.03x+0.05x+62.5=134.5
\n" ); document.write( "0.08x=72
\n" ); document.write( "x=$900 (amount invested at 3%)
\n" ); document.write( "x+1250=900+1250=$2150 (amount invested at 5%)
\n" ); document.write( "Cheers,
