Answer:

$1500

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Investment 1 = $3000
  • Interest 1 = 4%
  • Investment 2 = x
  • Interest 2 = 5.5%
  • Total interest = 4.5%

<u>Total interest:</u>

  • 3000*0.04 + x*0.055 = (3000+ x)*0.045    ⇒ multiply by 100 both sides
  • 3000*4 + 5.5x = 3000*4.5 + 4.5x                ⇒ parenthesis
  • 5.5x - 4.5x = 3000(4.5-4)                             ⇒ collect like terms
  • x = 3000*0.5                                                ⇒ simplify
  • x = 1500                                                        ⇒ answer

Additional money is $1500

Hatshy [7]
Use Pythagoras theorem
{(6 + 3)}^{2}  +  {x}^{2}  = {15}^{2}  \\  {x}^{2}  = 144 \\ x = 12
Two triangles are similar
\frac{6}{9}  =  \frac{y}{12}  \\ y = 8
(6+3)*12/2 - 6*8 /2 = 30
