<PRE><B>Question 180985</B>
Barb has a total of $25,000 invested in two different accounts. One is a money market account paying 9.5% interest, while the other is a CD that pays 12% interest. She receives $2700 in interest from these combined investments, after 1 year. How much does she have invested in each account? 
-------------------------------------------------------------
Equation:
interest + interest = interest
0.095x + 0.12(25000-x) = 2700

Multiply thru by 1000 to get:

95x + 120*25000 - 120x = 2700000

-25x = 2700000 - 120*25000

x = $12,000 (amt. invested at 9.5%
25000-x = $13,000 (amt. invested at 12%
