Question 1010305: A total of
$ 84 comma $84,000
is to be invested, some in bonds and some in certificates of deposit (CDs). If the amount invested in bonds is to exceed that in CDs by
$6,000,
how much will be invested in each type of investment?
Answer by fractalier(6550)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Call the amount invested in CDs, x.
Then the amount invested in bonds would x+6000.
Together $84,000 is invested, and so we write
x + x+6000 = 84000
2x + 6000 = 84000
2x = 78000
x = $39,000 in CDs so that
x+6000 = $45,000 in bonds
