An actor invests some money at 8%, and $47000 more than twice the amount at 12%. The total annual interest earned from the investment is $36680. How much \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let amount be x at 8%\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "47000+2x at 12%\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Interest = 36,680\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8%x+12%(2x+47000)=36680\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 100\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8x+12(2x+47000)=3668000\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8x+24x+564000=3668000\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "32x=3668000-564000\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "32x=3104000\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=97,000 at8%\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x+47000= 241000 @ 12%\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(8%*97000)+(12%*241000)=36680\r
\n" ); document.write( "
