Mr Jones has 20,000 to invest. He invests part at 6% and part at 7%, if hr earns 1,280 in interest after 1 year, how much did he invest at each rate.

Sagot :


Let x be the amount he invests at 6%

1280 = 0.06x + 0.07(20000 - x)
1280 = 0.06x + 1400 - 0.07x
1280 - 1400 = -0.01x
-120 / -0.01 = x
x = 12000

Therefore, he invests $12,000 at 6% and $8,000 at 7%
