A savings account pays 4% per year, a certificate of deposit pays 5.5% per year.
\n" ); document.write( " How much is in each account if a total investment of $8250 earns $414 in interest for 1 year?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = amt invested at 5.5%
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(8250-x) amt invested at 4%
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".04(8250-x) + .055x = 414
\n" ); document.write( "330 - .04x + .055x = 414
\n" ); document.write( "-.04x + .055x = 414 - 330
\n" ); document.write( ".015x = 84
\n" ); document.write( "x = 84/.015
\n" ); document.write( "x = $5600 invested at 5.5%
\n" ); document.write( "I'll let you find amt at 4%, check the solutions by finding the actual interest earned by each
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
