Let:
x = amount in the account invested in 2.5%
20000 - x = amount in the account invested in 3%

Solution:
.025x + .03 (20000 - x) = 540
.025x + 600 - .03x = 540
-.005x + 600 = 540
-.005x = 540 - 600
-.005x = -60
x = 12000

Therefore, that person invests 12,000 at 2.5%
and
20,000 - 12,000 = 8,000 at 3%

<u>Answer:</u> The amount invested in first account is $12,000 and in second account is $8000

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Total amount invested = $20,000

Total interest earned = $540

Let the amount invested in account 1 having 2.5 % ROI be 'x'

So, the amount invested in account 2 having 3 % ROI will be (20,000-x)

To calculate the simple interest, we use the equation:

A=\frac{PRT}{100}

For account 1:                             For account 2:

P = x                                            P = 20,000 - x

R = 2.5 %                                     R = 3 %

T = 1                                             T = 1

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{x\times 2.5\times 1}{100}+\frac{(20000-x)\times 3\times 1}{100}=540\\\\0.025x+600-0.03x=540\\\\x=12000

Amount invested in account 1 having 2.5 % ROI = x = $12000

Amount invested in account 2 having 3 % ROI = (20,000 - x) = (20,000 - 12,000) = $8000

Hence, the amount invested in first account is $12,000 and in second account is $8000

Which two lines intersect at level of output the firm is supplying if that business is earning zero economic profits?
IgorC [24]

The average cost curve and the variable revenue curve are two lines which intersect at level of output when the firm is supplying and that business is earning zero economic profits.

If the price which the  firm is charging from customer is higher than its average cost of production for the quantity of the goods produced, then the firm will earn profits to a large extent.

Conversely, if the price which is charged by the firm is lower than its average cost of production, the firm will suffer losses.

Thus when the cost is equal to the revenue of the firm it means there is no profit at all. At this level the average cost curve will intersect the revenue curve.

You start with 100 units and end with 150 units, what is the percentage increase?
Burka [1]
In order to find out the percentage of increase, first you need to find out the difference between initial units and the ending units, in this case:

150 - 100 = 50 units

After that, you need to do this calculation:

50 units/ 100 units x 100%

= 0.5 x 100 %

= 50% increases
