heather has divided $6300 between two invesments, one paying 9%, the other paying 4%. If the return on her investment is $372, how much does she have in each investment

Sagot :

assuming that the two investments are  X & Y
X + Y = 6300
X = 6300 - Y                                       (1)

9/100X + 4/100 Y = 372                       (2)
replacing X from (1) into (2)
9/100(6300-Y) + 4/100 Y = 372
567 - 9/100Y +4/100Y = 372
(-9+4)/100Y = 372 - 567
5/100Y = -195
Y = 100*195/5 = 3900
From (1) we can get X
X = 6300 - 3900 = 2400

I hope this is helpful
