Problema Solution

You invested $11,000 in two accounts paying 2% and 8% annual interest, respectively. If the total interest earned for the year was $640, how much was invested at each rate?

Answer provided by our tutors

x*2/100 + (11000-x)*8/100 = 640

2x + 88000 - 8x = 64000

x = 4000

So $4000 was invested at rate 2% bank and $7000 was invested at rate 8% bank
