A person invested $4100, part of it in bank bonds bearing 3.10% interest and the remainder in Canada Savings Bonds bearing 4.85% interest and she received the same income from each.
\n" ); document.write( "How much, to the nearest dollar, was invested in each?
\n" ); document.write( "Do not round intermediate results. Round only final answers. Round to the nearest integer.
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "Interest = Interest
\n" ); document.write( "0.031*x = 0.0485(4100-x)
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 10^4 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "310x = 485*4100-485x
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "795x = 485*4100
\n" ); document.write( "x = $2501.26 (amt invested at 3.1%
\n" ); document.write( "4100-x = $1598.74 (amt invested at 4.85)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
