Investing: Amanda invests $25,000, part at 5% and the rest at 6%. The annual return on the 5% investment exceeds the annual return on the 6% investment by $40. How much did she invest at each rate? \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I know so far:
\n" ); document.write( "That interest= principal x rate
\n" ); document.write( "so, x= 5%
\n" ); document.write( " 25,000-x=6%
\n" ); document.write( "===================
\n" ); document.write( "x = amount @ 5%
\n" ); document.write( "25000 - x = amount @ 6%
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "0.05x = interest @ 5%
\n" ); document.write( "0.06(25000 - x) = interest @ 6%
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "0.05x = 0.06*(25000 - x) + 40
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for x
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "I keep setting up my equation as follows:
