There was $800 deposited at 9% interest and $400 deposited at 4% interest.
The formula for simple interest is I = prt. Using our information we have:
88 = x(0.09)(1) + (1200-x)(0.04)(1)
88 = 0.09x + 48 - 0.04x
88 = 0.05x + 48
Subtract 48 from both sides:
88 - 48 = 0.05x + 48 - 48
40 = 0.05x
Divide both sides by 0.05:
40/0.05 = 0.05x/0.05
x = 800
1200 - x = 400
We know that 2 pints = 1 quart. So that means that 3 pints = 1 1/2 quarts
The correct answer would be she made 12 pints because 2 pints = 1 quart
Hope this helped!
