Answer: $7800 was invested at 9%

$5900 was invested at 3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested in the fund that paid a dividend of 9%.

Let y represent the amount invested in the fund that paid a dividend of 3%.

Last year, the first fund paid a dividend of 9% and the second a dividend of 3%, and you received a total of $879. This means that

0.09x + 0.03y = 879- - - - - - - - - 1

This year, the first fund paid a 10% dividend and the second only 1%, and you received a total of $839. It means that

0.1x + 0.01y = 839 - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 0.1 and equation 2 by 0.09, it becomes

0.009x + 0.003y = 87.9

0.009x + 0.0009y = 75.51

Subtracting, it becomes

0.0021y = 12.39

y = 12.39/0.0021

y = 5900

Substituting y = 5900 into equation 1, it becomes

0.09x + 0.03 × 5900 = 879

0.09x + 177 = 879

0.09x = 879 - 177

0.09x = 702

x = 702/0.09

x = 7800

marco has 37 1/2 ounces of juice he wants to pass out samples of the juice each cup can hold 2 1/2 ounces of juice how many cups
Crank
So 37 1/2
each can hold 2 1/2 oz

how many cups can he fill

37 1/2=75/2
2 1/2=5/2

x=number of cups
x times 5/2=75/2
5/2x=75/2
multiply both sides by 2
5x=75
divide both sides by 5
x=15
he can fill 15 cups
