Problema Solution

$6300 is invested, part of it at 12% and part of it at 6%. For a certain year, the total yield is $564.00 How much was invested at each year

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' represent the amount invested as 12%, then '6300-x' represents the amount invested at 6%


564 = 0.12x + 0.06(6300-x)

solving for 'x' we have x=3100


6300-3100 = 3200


$3,100 was invested at 12%, $3,200 was invested at 6%
