Question 993978
A man invests a certain amount of money at 2% interest and $800 more than that amount in another account at 4% interest. At the end of one year, he earned $92 in interest. How much money was invested in each account
------
Equation:
int + int = 92 dollars
-----
0.02x + 0.04(x+800) = 92
---------
2x + 4x + 3200 = 9200
---------
6x = 6000
x = 1000 (amt. invested at 2%)
----
x+800 = 1800 (amt. invested at 4%)
