If the ratio is 4:1 , pencils being the 4 and erasers being the 1, there are 4 pencils for every 1 eraser. Now, substitute the 4 pencils for 20 pencils. How do you get to 20 from 4? multiply by 5. You multiply the 4 pencils by 5 to get 20, and u multiply the 1 eraser by 5 to get 5, so there are 20 pencils: 5 erasers

Ilya [14]

Answer: $12000 was invested at 7% while $8000 was invested at 9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, let the amount that was invested at 7% be n.

Therefore,

0.07n + 0.09(20000 - n) = 1560

0.07n + 1800 - 0.09n = 1560

-0.02n = 1560 - 1800

-0.02n = -240

n = 240/0.02

n = 120

Therefore, $12000 was invested at 7% while $8000 was invested at 9%.
