Question 1130884: Jackie got a loan at 7% and another at 10% amounting to php 27 000. If the annual interest on both is php 2 250, how much did she borrow at each rate?!
Answer by ikleyn(52781)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
x + y = 27000 (1) (where x and y are amounts of the loans)
0.07x + 0.10y = 2250 (2)
From eq(1), express x = 27000-y and substitute it into eq(2), replacing y. You will get
0.07*(27000-y) + 0.10y = 2250.
Solve it for y. Then evaluate x = 27000-y.
