Problema Solution

a man invests money in two simple interest accounts. he invests twice as much in an account paying 11% as he does in an account paying 6%. if he earnes $91.00 in interest in one year from both accounts combined, how much did he invest altogether?

Answer provided by our tutors

let man invest $x at6% and $2x at 11%

0.06x + 0.11*2x = 91

 0.28x = 91 

x = 91/0.28 = 325

total investment = x+2x = 3x = 3*325 =  $975
