A stockbroker has money in three accounts. The interest rates on the three accounts are 10 % 10%, 11 % 11%, and 12 % 12%. If she

has twice as much money invested at 11 % 11% as she does in 10 % 10%, three times as much at 12 % 12% as she has at 10 % 10%, and the total interest for the year is $ 136 $136, how much is invested at each rate?

Answer: he invested $200 at 10%, $400 at 11% and $600 at 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested in the account earning 10% interest.

Let y represent the amount invested in the account earning 11% interest.

Let z represent the amount invested in the account earning 12% interest.

If she has twice as much money invested at 11 % as she does in 10 %, it means that

y = 2x

If she has three times as much at

12 % as she has at 10 %, it means that

z = 3x

The interest from the first account is

x × 0.1 × 1 = 0.1x

The interest from the second account is

y × 0.11 × 1 = 0.11y

The interest from the third account is

z × 0.12 × 1 = 0.12z

If the total interest for the year is $136, it means that

0.1x + 0.11y + 0.12z = 136 - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting y = 2x and z = 3x into equation 1, it becomes

0.1x + 0.11(2x) + 0.12(3x) = 136

0.1x + 0.22x + 0.36x = 136

0.68x = 136

x = 136/0.68 = 200

y = 2x = 2 × 200

y = $400

z = 3x = 3 × 200

z = $600

Answer:

The length of PQ is <u>18</u> feet.

The length of PR is <u>18</u> feet.

The length of QR is <u>24</u> feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A way to set an equation up for this problem is:

\frac{4}{3}x+x+x=60

where x is the three lengths of the isosceles triangle, but the base QR is 4/3 the length of the other two congruent sides, length PQ and PR. The 60 represents the total length of the perimeter.

Then, solve for x from the equation, and you’ll get x=18. But your not done yet. Since the variable x in the equation stands for the sides of the isosceles triangle, so plug 18 into the equation and it should look like this:

\frac{4}{3}(18)+18+18=60

Don’t solve the whole equation, just solve the \frac{4}{3}(18) part of the equation, which is equal to 24. So the final equation is this:

24+18+18=60

Conclusion: 24 is the length of QR, and 18 is the length of PQ and PR. And they all equal 60, which is the perimeter. This is very true because the length of PQ and PR are the same (length 18), since it’s an isosceles triangle, and the length of QR is 4/3 the length of PQ and PR (4/3 of 18= 24).

Sorry for the long explanation.

But hope this helps and answers your question :)
