Question 1169899
.
<pre>

Let x be the amount invested at 8%;

then the amount invested at 6% is the rest  33000-x  dollars.


To find x, you write the total interest equation


    0.08x + 0.06*(33000-x) = 2200  dollars.


From the equation, you find


    x = {{{(2200-0.06*33000)/(0.08-0.06)}}} = 11000  dollars.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  $11000 invested at 8% and the rest, $33000-$1000 = $22000  invested at 6%.


<U>CHECK</U>.   0.08*11000 + 0.06*22000 = 2200 dollars is the total inderest.   ! Correct !

Solved.
