Jane invested some amount at the rate of 12% simple interest and some other amount at the rate of 10% simple interest. She received yearly interest of $130. Randy also invested in the same scheme, but he interchanged the amounts invested, and received $4. more as interest. How much amount did each of them invest at different rates.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt J invested at 12%
\n" ); document.write( "Let y = amt J invested at 10%
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Randy interchanged the amts so:
\n" ); document.write( "x = amt R invested at 10%
\n" ); document.write( "y = amt R invested at 12%
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".12x + .10y = 130; J's earnings
\n" ); document.write( ".10x + .12y = 134; R's earnings
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " Multiply 1st equation by 120 and 2nd equation by 100:
\n" ); document.write( "14.4x + 12y = 15600
\n" ); document.write( " 10x + 12y = 13400
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------- subtracting eliminates y
\n" ); document.write( " 4.4x + 0 = 2200
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2200/4.4
\n" ); document.write( "x = $500 invested at 12% by J, $500 invested at 10% by R
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find y:
\n" ); document.write( ".12(500) + .10y = 130
\n" ); document.write( " 60 + .1y = 130
\n" ); document.write( ".1y = 130 - 60
\n" ); document.write( "y = 70/.1
\n" ); document.write( "y = $700 invested at 10% by J, $700 invested at 12% by R
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check our solutions using; .10x + .12y = 134:
\n" ); document.write( ".1(500) + .12(700) =
