You invested $15,000 in two accounts paying 4% and 7% annual interest, respectively. If the total interest earned for
the year was $960, how much was invested at each rate?

$3000 and $12000

If you know the principal amount, the rate of interest, and the time periods, you can use the simple interest formula to calculate the interest.

The following is a simple interest formula:

   SI = P *R * T /100

Where SI = simple interest

Principal (P)

interest rate, or R (in percentage)

T is the time period (in years)

The following formula is used to determine the overall sum:

Sum (A) = Principal (P) + Interest (I)

Where,

The entire amount repaid at the conclusion of the borrowing period is indicated by the letter (A).

You can also write the total amount formula for simple interest as follows:

A = P(1 + RT)

X+Y = $15000

0.04x + 0.07y = 960

0.04x + 0.07 ( 15000 - x) = 960

0.04x + 1050 - 0.07x = 960

0.03x = 90

x = $3000

y= $12000
