noname [10]

Answer: He should invest $44000 in fund A and $11000 in fund B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount which he invested in fund A.

Let y represent the amount which he invested in fund B.

Vern sold his 1964 Ford Mustang for $55,000 and wants to invest the money to earn him 3.6% interest per year. He will put some of the money into Fund A that earns 2% per year and the rest in Fund B that earns 10% per year.. This means that

x + y = 55000

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Considering fund A,

P = $x

T = 1 year

R = 2℅

I = (x × 2 × 1)/100 = 0.02x

Considering fund B,

P = $y

T = 1 year

R = 10℅

I = (y × 10 × 1)/100 = 0.1y

The interest that he wants to earn on the total amount in a year is 3.6%. The interest would be

I = (55000 × 3.6 × 1)/100 = 1980

Therefore,

0.02x + 0.1y = 1980 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 55000 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.02(55000 - y) + 0.1y = 1980

1100 - 0.02y + 0.1y = 1980

- 0.02y + 0.1y = 1980 - 1100

0.08y = 880

y = 880/0.08

y = 11000

x = 55000 - y = 55000 - 11000

x = 44000

aivan3 [116]

Let x be the number of bags of Nature's Recipe Venison Meal & Rice Canine 20 percent protein, y be the number of bags of Nutro Max Natural Dog Food 27 percent protein and z be the number of bags of PetSmart Premier Oven Baked Lamb 25 percent protein a dog breeder buys. He wants to make 300 pounds of a mix. Then

20x+17.5y+30z=300.

Now

in 20x pounds of Nature's Recipe Venison Meal & Rice Canine 20 percent protein is 0.2·20x=4x pounds of protein;
in 17.5y pounds of Nutro Max Natural Dog Food 27 percent protein is 0.27·17.5y=4.725y pounds of protein;
in 30z pounds of PetSmart Premier Oven Baked Lamb 25 percent protein is 0.25·30z=7.5z pounds of protein;
in 300 pounds of mix containing 22 percent protein is 0.22·300=66 pounds of protein.

Then 4x+4.725y+7.5z=66.

You get a system

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}20x+17.5y+30z=300\\4x+4.725y+7.5z=66.\end{array}\right.$
