A man invested part of $15,000 at 12% and the remainder at 8%. If his annual
\n" ); document.write( "income from the two investments is $1456, how much does he have invested at
\n" ); document.write( "each rate?
\n" ); document.write( "

Let amount invested at 12% be T
\n" );
document.write( "Then amount invested at 8% = 15,000 - T
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: .12T + .08(15,000 - T) = 1,456
\n" );
document.write( ".12T + 1,200 - .08T = 1,456  
\n" );
document.write( ".12T - .08T = 1,456 - 1,200
\n" );
document.write( ".04T = 256
\n" );
document.write( "Amount invested at 12%, or 
\n" );
document.write( "You should be able to find amount invested at 8%.\r
