Answer:

$9,000 (amount invested at 3.8%)

$11,000 (amount invested at 8.1%)

Explanation:

Let us calculate the total interest earned by both investments

Interest earned= 0.06165* 20,000= $ 1,233

Let principal invested at 3.8% be X

Use formula Interest= principal* rate*time in years

Interest= X*0.038*1= 0.038X

Principal invested at 8.1% be (20,000-X)

So Interest = (20,000-X)*0.081*1= 1,620-0.081X

Total interest earned = Interest at 3.8% + Interest at 8.1%

1,233= 0.038X + 1,620 -0.081X

Rearranging

0.043X= 387

X= 387/0.043

X= $9,000 (amount invested at 3.8%)

Substitute in equation

Principal invested at 8.1%= 20,000-X

= 20,000- 9,000

= $11,000 (amount invested at 8.1%)

Brianna cruz earned $130 in simple intrest in 9 months at an annual interest rate of 8%. How much money did she invest?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

She invested $2,167

Explanation:

As interest rate is not compounded, the 9-month interest of a 8% annual interest is simply:

8% * 9 / 12 = 6%

Let A be the amount of money she invest. After 9 month she will receive:

A * 0.06 dollars.

And the actual amount is $130. So she invested

A = $130 / 0.06 = $2,167

The difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay for a product and the actual price the consumer pays is ca
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The answer is consumer's surplus

Explanation:

Consumer's surplus is the difference between what the consumer or buyer is willing to pay and the amount he or she eventually paid.

For example, Mr A is willing to pay $100 for a product and the producer is willing to sell for $90. After much negotiation between mr A and the seller, he eventually paid $85. What he paid was lower than what he was willing to pay before.

So the consumer surplus is $100 - $85 = $15
