Problema Solution

Leticia has been tracking 2 volatile stocks. Stock A increased to 10% and stock B increased to 14%. Using the simple interest model, she has 10000 to invest but wants 11300 after one year. How much should she invest at 10% and how much at 14%?

Answer provided by our tutors

x + y = 10,000

1.1x + 1.14y = 11,300

1.1x + 1.1y = 11,000

0.04y = 300

y = 7500

x = 10,000 - 7,500 = 2,500
