John has N$6000 invest.He invests part of it at 5% and the rest at 8%.How much should be invested at each rate to yield 6% on the total amount?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Eq:: f + e = 6000
\n" ); document.write( "Interest Eq:: 5f + 8e = 6*6000
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Modify for elimination:
\n" ); document.write( "5f + 5e = 5*6000
\n" ); document.write( "5f + 8e = 6*6000
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"e\":
\n" ); document.write( "3e = 6000
\n" ); document.write( "e = $2000 (amt. invested at 8%)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "f = 6000-e = $4000 (amt. invested at 5%)
\n" ); document.write( "------------
