Betsy, a recent retiree, requires $6,000 per year in extra income. She has $70,000 to invest and can invest in B-rated bonds paying 15% per year or in a certificate of deposit (CD) paying 7% per year. How much money should
be invested in each to realize exactly $6,000 in interest per year?

The amount of money invested at 15% =$
The amount of money invested at 7% = $


Sagot :

Interest is defined as the money paid for the use of money from some other person. It also defines how much money or other assets you pay for borrowings. For a given interval, it was the percentage rate of a principal.

Given:

Invested amount= 70,000

Extra income= 6,000

Invested amount of money percentage [tex]15\% \ and \ 7\%[/tex]

Solution:

Let the equation are:

[tex]\to x + y = 70,000 .................................(i) \\\\\to 0.15x +0.7y = 6000 .................................(ii)[/tex]

Solve the equation (i) and put the value into the equation (ii):  

[tex]\to x = 70,000 - y\\\\\to 0.15( 70,000 - y) +0.7y = 6,000 \\\\\to 10,500- 0.15y+0.7y=6,000\\\\\to 10,500+ 0.55y=6,000\\\\\to 0.55y=6,000-10,500\\\\\to 0.55y=-4,500\\\\\to y=\frac{-4,500}{0.55}\\\\\to y=- 8,181.81818\approx - 8,181.8[/tex]

Putting the value of y into the equation (i):

[tex]\to x+(- 8,181.8)=70,000\\\\\to x=70,000+ 8,181.8\\\\\to x=7 8,181.8[/tex]

So, the final answer is "78,181.8 and -8,181.8".
