Answer:
The woman invested $15,000 at 7% interest rate and $5,000 at 6% interest rate.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Let x be the interest earned from 7% interest rate and y be the interest earned from 6% interest rate.
The woman invested has three times as much invested at 7% as she does at 6%.
Thus, we can write the equation:
The total interest is $1,350.
Thus, we can write the equation:
Solving the two equations by substitution method:
Thus, she invested $15,000 at 7% interest rate and $5,000 at 6% interest rate.
Remark
You have to read this carefully to know what way to write it.
One way you could write it would be
20 * x = 18 where x is the fraction. Now all you need do is divide.
Divide both sides by 20
20/20 * x = 18/20
But you should reduce this fraction. The way to do that is to factor 18 and 20 into primes.
18: 2 * 3 * 3
20: 2 * 2 *5
Cancel out the Highest common factor or 2.
