First set up a proportion
240/160 = 320/200
Cross multiply and if the left equals the right it is similar.
Let the amount invested with 5% interest be x
Therefore, the amount invested with 6% interest will be (6000-x)
It is given that the total interest earned yearly is $337.5. Thus, the equation of interest will be:
Multiplying both sides by 100 we get:
Subtracting both sides by 36000 we get:
Thus, the amount invested at 5% is $2250
Therefore, the amount invested at 6% will be $(6000-2250)=$3750
The answer to the equation is 5 7/15
The height of the isosceles triangle is 8.49 inches.

How to find the height of the triangle?</h3>
Here we have a triangle such that two of the sides measure 9 inches, and the base measures 6 inches.
So this is an isosceles triangle.
We can divide the isosceles triangle into two smaller right triangles, such that the side that measures 9 inches is the hypotenuse, the base is 3 inches, and the height of the isosceles triangle is the other cathetus.
By Pythagorean's theorem, we can write:
(9in)^2 = (3 in)^2 + h^2
Where h is the height that we are trying to find.
Solving that for h we get:
h = √( (9 in)^2 - (3in)^2) = 8.49 inches.
We conclude that the height of the isosceles triangle is 8.49 inches.
