<PRE><B>Question 456727</B>
Sarah has $2000 more invested at 8.5% than she does at 9.75%.
 Both investments are simple interest rates.
 If the annual return from each investment is the same, how much is invested at each rate? 
:
Let x = amt invested at 9.75%
then
(x+2000) = amt invested at 8.5%
:
.0975x = .085(x+2000)
solve for x</PRE>
