\n" ); document.write( "A bank loaned out ​$19,000​, part of it at the rate of 7% per year and the rest at per 17% year.
\n" ); document.write( "If the interest received in one year totaled ​$2500​, how much was loaned at 7%?
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\r

\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the amount (in dollars) loaned at 17%.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the amount loaned at 7% is (19,000-x) dollars (the rest).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Having it, write the money equation for the combined annual interest\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    0.17x + 0.07*(19000-x) = 2500  dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Simplify and find x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    0.17x + 1330 - 0.07x = 2500\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    0.17x - 0.07x = 2500 - 1330\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "        0.1x      =    1170\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "            x     = \"1170%2F0.1\" = 11700.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  $11700 was loaned at 17%,  the reast  19000 - 11700 = 7300 dollars was loaned at 7%.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "CHECK.   0.17*11700 + 0.07*7300 = 2500 dollars, total annual interest.   ! Correct !\r\n" );
