Question 237841: Aplication Problem:
If I have $70,000 to invest. I want to receive an income of $5,000 per year. I have to invest in two accounts:
The first account have a 6% rate and the other at 8.5%. How much I have to invest in each account to earn $5,000 per year? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
