Answer:
$11,250
Step-by-step explanation:
Normally, when I work "mixture" problems, I like to choose the variable so it represents the amount of the largest contributor. Here, that would be the amount invested at 15%.
Unfortunately, the question asks for the amount invested at 7%. Using a variable to represent that amount means that there will be negative numbers involved. Care must be taken in the arithmetic.
Let x represent the amount invested at 7%. Then 16000-x is the amount invested at 15%. The total interest for one year is ...
0.07x + 0.15(16000 -x) = 1500 . . . . sum of interest amounts at each rate
-0.08x +2400 = 1500 . . simplify
-0.08x = -900 . . . . . . . . subtract 2400
x = 11250 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -0.08
The bank loaned $11,250 at 7%.
Every commensal at a dinner eats three plates. Then the number of plates served at the dinner is three times the number of commensals.
