Mrs. centeno invested half of her money at 7 percent and half at 8 percent per year, her annual income from the two investment was 7,500.00 how much did she invest at each rate?
.07%28x%2F2%29%2B.08%28x%2F2%29=7500
%28.07%2B.08%29%2F2=7500
.15x=7500(2)
.15x=15000
x=100,000
So she invested a total of $100,000; half of that at 7% and the other half at 8%
