Invested $22,000, part at 8% and part at 7%. If the total interest at the end of the year is $1,710, how much did she invest at 8%?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "I'll do one and leave the other to you.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let amt invested at 8% be \"x\" ; interest is 0.08x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Amt invest at 7% is \"22000-x ; interest is 0.07(22000-x) = 1540-0.07x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "interest + interest = 1710 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "0.08x + 1540-0.07x = 1710
\n" ); document.write( "0.01x = 170
\n" ); document.write( "x = $17000 (amt. invested at 8%)
\n" ); document.write( "22000-x = 5000 (amt invested at 7%)
\n" ); document.write( "=================
