\"Harold made two investments totaling $11,100. Over the year the two investments earned $1,142 in simple interest. Part of the $11,100 earned 8% while the other part earned 12%. How much was invested at each rate?\"

\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Eq:: x + y = 11,100
\n" ); document.write( "Interest Eq: 8x +12y = 114200
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify for elimination:
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 8y = 88,800
\n" ); document.write( "8x +12y = 114200
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "4y = 25,400
\n" ); document.write( "y = $6350.00 (amt. invested at 12%
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = 11,100-6350 = $4750.00
