Answer:
See below
Bold parts are important parts. They are the equations.
Marina had RM24,500 to invest.
If the amount of money in the 4% account was four times the amount of money in the 5.5% account.
" At the end of the year, she had made RM1,300 in interest. The annual yield on each of the three accounts was 4%, 5.5%, and 6%."
"If the amount of money in the 4% account was four times the amount of money in the 5.5% account,"
a = 4b
Down is the equations.
let a = amt in the 4% acct
let b = amt in the 5.5% acct
let c = amt in the 6%
"Marina had RM 24,500 to invest."
a + b + c = 24500
Replace a with 4b in both equations, simplify
b = $2000 in the 5.5% investment
a = $8000 in the 4% acct
