Question 996098
.
George invested some money at 10% interest. George also invested $169 more than 4 times that amount at 15%. How much is invested at each rate if George receives $2427.05 in interest after one year?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


x*0.1 + (4x + 169)*0.15 = 2427.05.


0.1*x + 4*0.15*x + 169*0.15 = 2427.05,


0.1*x + 0.6*x + 25.35 = 2427.05,


0.7*x = 2427.05 - 25.35


0.7*x = 2401.70,


x = {{{2401.70/0.7}}} = 3431.


3431  at 10%   and   4*3431 + 169 = 13893  at 15%.
