Answer:
3300 was on 3% and 6700 on 2,5%
Step-by-step explanation:
We can say that 'a' represents the price that will go on 3% interest and 'b' 2,5% interest.
Therefore;
a + b = 10 000
And
0,03a + 0,025b = 283.5 (0,03 means 3% etc)
You can move 'b' to the other side to leave 'a' on the LHS
0,03a = 283.5 - 0,025b - - > (divide both sides by 0,03)
a=9450 - 0,8333b
Substitute this equation as 'a' in the first equation to get:
9450 - 0,8333b + b = 10 000 (move 9450 to the RHS to leave values with b on the LHS)
-0,8333b + b = 10 000 - 9450
0,1666b = 550 (divide both sides by 0,1666)
b = 3,300
Therefore 'a' will be :
a= 10 000 - 3 300
a = 6700
I hope this helps.
