Answer:

  1. $8000 at 1%
  2. $2000 at 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

It often works well to let a variable represent the amount invested at the higher rate. Then an equation can be written relating amounts invested to the total interest earned.

__

<h3>setup</h3>

Let x represent the amount invested at 10%. Then 10000-x is the amount invested at 1%. The total interest earned is ...

  0.10x +0.01(10000 -x) = 280

<h3>solution</h3>

Simplifying gives ...

  0.09x +100 = 280

  0.09x = 180 . . . . . . . subtract 100

  x = 2000 . . . . . . divide by 0.09

  10000 -x = 8000 . . . . amount invested at 1%

<h3>1.</h3>

$8000 should be invested in the 1% account

<h3>2.</h3>

$2000 should be invested in the 10% account

gogolik [260]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x-6)+2x=6(2-3x)+4x-2x

6x-36+2x=12-18x+4x-2x

8x-36=-16x+12

24x-36=12

24x=48

x=2
