<PRE><B>Question 80008</B>
John now has two investments that produce a $150 income each month. If $1,000 more is invested at 9% than at 10% per year, how much was invested at each percent? 
---------
Amt invested at 9% = x; amt of monthly interest on this is (0.09/12) x dollars
-------
Amt invested at 10% = x+1000 ; amt of monthly int. on this is (0.10/12)(1000+x)
--------------
EQUATION:
int + int = 150 dollars
0.0075x + 8.333 + 0.008333x=150
0.0158333x=141.667
x=$8947.41(amt. invested at 9%)
10000-8947.41=$1052.59 (amt. invested at 10%)
