Answer:

In the 8% option , $5,000 should be invested

In the 12% option, $15,000 should be invested

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s start with the total return.

Since the total return expected is 11%, the amount expected to be returned will be;

11/100 * 20,000 = $2,200

Now, let the amount invested at 8% interest be $x while the amount invested at 12% interest be $y

Mathematically;

x + y = 20,000 ••••••(i)

Now let’s work with the interest part;

On the 8% part, amount of interest expected is 8/100 * x

on the 12% part, amount of interest expected is 12/100 * x

8% of $x + 12% of $y = 2,200

Writing this fully mathematically, we have;

(8/100 * x) + (12/100 * y) = 2,200

8x/100 + 12y/100 = 2,200

Multiply through by 100

8x + 12y = 220,000 ••••••(ii)

Now we have two equations to solve simultaneously;

x + y = 20,000

8x + 12y = 220,000

From i, x = 20,000-y

Substitute this into ii

8(20,000-y) + 12y = 220,000

160,000-8y + 12y = 220,000

4y = 220,000 - 160,000

4y = 60,000

y = 60,000/4

y = $15,000

x = 20,000 -y

x = 20,000 - 15,000

x = $5,000

You have 2 job offers with the following options. Option 1: You are paid $30
kozerog [31]

Answer:

It takes 6 hours for both to reach an equal paid.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to form an expressions in terms of x where x determine the number of hours :

Option 1,

$(30 + 9x)

Option 2,

$(14x)

Next, you have to compare it since they want to find out how many hours they work until they reach the same amount :

30 + 9x = 14x

30 = 14x - 9x

30 = 5x

5x = 30

x = 30÷5

x = 6
