Answer:
- $17,500 at 8%
- $17,500 at 14%
Step-by-step explanation:
The fraction that needs to be invested at the higher rate is ...
(11% - 8%)/(14% -8%) = 3%/6% = 1/2
Half the money should be invested at each of the rates:
$17,500 for 8% return
$17,500 for 14% return.
_____
If you let x represent the amount at the higher rate, then the total return is ...
14%x + 8%(35000 -x) = 11%(35000)
(14% -8%)x = (11% -8%)(35000) . . . . subtract 8%·35000
x = (11% -8%)/(14% -8%)×35000 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Note that this formula is exactly the one we started with, above.
Answer:
Type A coffee in lbs = 97 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
Type a = 4.55/lbs = x
type b = 5.70/lbs = y
Total in lbs = 147lbs
total in sales = 726.50
First,
x + y = 147 lbs -------------------equ 1
4.55x + 5.70y = lbs ------------ equ 2
<em>Multiply equ 1 by 4.55</em>
4.55x + 4.55y = 668.85 -------------equ 3
4.55x + 5.70y = 726.50 ------------equ 4
<em>Subtracting equ 3 from equ 4</em>
1.15y = 57.65
y = 50
<em>Substituting y = 50 into equ 1</em>
x + 50 = 147
x = 97
