$6,000 dollars is invested in two different accounts earning 3% and 5% interest. at the end of one year, the two accounts earned

Anettt [7]

Answer-

$2000 were invested at 5%

Solution-

Let x amount of money was invested at 5% and (6000-x) amount was invested as 3%

We know that,

$i=\dfrac{P\cdot r\cdot t}{100}$

Putting the values,

$i_1=\dfrac{P_1\cdot r_1\cdot t}{100}$

$i_1=\dfrac{x\cdot 5\cdot 1}{100}=\dfrac{5x}{100}$

And

$i_2=\dfrac{P_2\cdot r_2\cdot t}{100}$

$i_2=\dfrac{(6000-x)\cdot 3\cdot 1}{100}=\dfrac{3(6000-x)}{100}$

According to the question,

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{5x}{100}+\dfrac{3(6000-x)}{100}=220$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{5x+3(6000-x)}{100}=220$

$\Rightarrow 5x+3(6000-x)=22000$

$\Rightarrow 5x+18000-3x=22000$

$\Rightarrow 5x-3x=22000-18000$

$\Rightarrow 2x=4000$

$\Rightarrow x=2000$

Therefore, $2000 were invested at 5%

Andy found these three ordered pairs for the equation y = 65x +250: (0, 250), (5,575), and (10,900). He graphed the ordered pair

lakkis [162]

A, the highest Y value is 900 from the ordered pair (10,900) so as the least, the graph must go to 900.
