Question 233367
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


Let *[tex \Large x] represent the amount at 10%.  Then *[tex \Large 6000\ -\ x] must be the amount at 8%.  The amount of interest attributable to the 10% loan would then be *[tex \Large .10x] and the amount of interest attributable to the 8% loan would be *[tex \Large .08(6000\ -\ x)].  The sum of these two interest amounts is $740, so:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ .10x\ +\ .08(6000\ -\ x)\ =\ 740]


Just solve for *[tex \Large x]
