Question

a portion of 7200 is invested at 5 1/2 percent interest, and the rest is invested at 5 percent interest. if the yearly income from the money is rs. 387 how much is invested at each rate ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A 5.5% = 5400 B 5% = 1800

Step-by-step explanation:

A + B = 7200

A * 0.055 + B * 0.05 = $387

A = 7200 - B

(7200 - B)*0.055 + B*0.05 = 387

396 - 0.055B + 0.05B = 387

396 - 0.005B = 387

0.005B = 9

B = 1800

A = 7200 - B = 7200 - 1800

A = 5400
