Answer:
3/6 or 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
the amount that chose pizza = 2/6
5/6 = the amount that chose pizza + the amount that chose tacos
5/6 = 2/6 + the amount that chose tacos
the amount that chose tacos = 5/6 - 2/6
the amount that chose tacos = (5-2)/6
the amount that chose tacos=3/6=1/2
Answer:
- $17,500 at 8%
- $17,500 at 14%
Step-by-step explanation:
The fraction that needs to be invested at the higher rate is ...
(11% - 8%)/(14% -8%) = 3%/6% = 1/2
Half the money should be invested at each of the rates:
$17,500 for 8% return
$17,500 for 14% return.
_____
If you let x represent the amount at the higher rate, then the total return is ...
14%x + 8%(35000 -x) = 11%(35000)
(14% -8%)x = (11% -8%)(35000) . . . . subtract 8%·35000
x = (11% -8%)/(14% -8%)×35000 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Note that this formula is exactly the one we started with, above.
