Question 340401
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


Let *[tex \Large x] represent the amount (in 1000s) invested at 8% and then *[tex \Large 54\ -\ x] must represent the amount invested at 10%.  That means the amount earned at 8% must be *[tex \Large 0.08x] and the amount earned at 10% must be *[tex \Large 0.10(54\ -\ x)]


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 0.08x\ =\ 0.10(54\ -\ x)]


Solve for *[tex \Large x] to find the amount to invest at 8%, and the balance would be invested at 10%.  Remember that your answer is going to be in terms of 1000s of dollars.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
