<PRE><B>Question 988841</B>
Emma invests $900 in one account and $1800 in an account paying 3 % higher interest. At the end of one year she had earned $135 in interest. At what rates did she invest?
-------
(x/100)(900) + [(x+3)/100]1800 = 135
-------
9x + 18x + 54 = 135
----
27x = 81
x = 3
----
 
$900 invested at 3% 
$1800 invested at 6%
-----
Cheers,
Stan H.
