\n" ); document.write( "and received a total of P37,000 in interest, how much did she invest each rate?
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\r

\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x dollars be the amount invested at 10%.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the amount invested at 8% is (400000-x)  dollars.    (Honestly, I don't know what your \"P\" means and how to pronounce it . . . )\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the equation for the total interest earned in one year is\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    0.1x + 0.08*(400000-x) = 37000  dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From the equation\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x =  = 250000.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  P250000 invested at 10%  and the rest, (400000-250000) = 150000 invested at 8%.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "CHECK.   0.1*250000 + 0.08*150000 = 37000,  total annual interest earned.    ! Correct !\r\n" );
