Question 48802
Mike invested $6000 for one year.  He invested part of it at 9% and the rest at 11%.  At the end of the year he earned $624 in interest.  How much did he invest at each rate?
------------------------------
9% DATA:
amount= x dollars ; interest=0.09x dollars
-------------------------------
11% Data

amount = 6000-x dollars ; interest = 0.11(6000-x)=660-0.11x
--------------------------------
EQUATION:
int + int = 624 dollars
0.09x+660-0.11x=624
0.02x =660-624
0.02x=36
x=$1800     (amount invested at 9%)
6000-x=$4200 (amount invested at 11%)
---------------------------
