Answer: $7800 was invested at 9%
$5900 was invested at 3%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount invested in the fund that paid a dividend of 9%.
Let y represent the amount invested in the fund that paid a dividend of 3%.
Last year, the first fund paid a dividend of 9% and the second a dividend of 3%, and you received a total of $879. This means that
0.09x + 0.03y = 879- - - - - - - - - 1
This year, the first fund paid a 10% dividend and the second only 1%, and you received a total of $839. It means that
0.1x + 0.01y = 839 - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 0.1 and equation 2 by 0.09, it becomes
0.009x + 0.003y = 87.9
0.009x + 0.0009y = 75.51
Subtracting, it becomes
0.0021y = 12.39
y = 12.39/0.0021
y = 5900
Substituting y = 5900 into equation 1, it becomes
0.09x + 0.03 × 5900 = 879
0.09x + 177 = 879
0.09x = 879 - 177
0.09x = 702
x = 702/0.09
x = 7800

The value of the car after 8 years is $ 3652
Let g represent video games. The equation you can use to solve for the amount of video games and CDs Jasmine can buy with her savings is:
43g+72=1128
The 43g part is because it costs 43 dollars for every video game, so you need to multiply 43 by the amount of games she buys to get the total for g games.
The +72 part is because you already have the amount spent on CDs, and needs to be added to the cost of video games, so that the sum would be equal to 1128.
Now, solving:
43g+72=1128 ...subtract 72 from both sides
43g=1056 ...divide both sides by 43 to isolate g
g=24.5581395349
Rounded up, that would be 25 games, but Jasmine's savings isn't enough to buy 25 games that cost $43 each, so you would go down to 24 games.
The answer: Jasmine can buy 24 games with her savings after spending $72 on CDs.
