Question 225401: Nancy Johnson invested $18,000. Part of it was invested at 3% annual simple interest, and the rest was invested at 4%. Her interest income for the first year was $650. How much did she invest at each rate?
This is what I tried: 3x + 4y = 650;
y=18x
3(18y) + 4y = 650
54y + 4y = 650 = 58y =650, y=11.206896
I got lost from there because when that would make X something not nice. Please help me? Answer by rfer(16322) (Show Source):
