Problema Solution

A women invested $20,000 at 8%. What additional amount must she invest at 6% so that her annual income is $2,200?

Answer provided by our tutors

.06x+.05(20,000-x)=1,060

.06x+1,000-.05x=1,060

.01x=1,060-1,000

.01x=60

x=60/.01

x=6,000 invested @ 6%

20,000-6,000=14,000 invested @ 55

Proof:

.06*6,000+.05*14,000=1,060

360+700=1,060

1,060=1,060
