That would be 2.1 because if it's in decimal it's 2.1
Lets x and y are 2 accounts Paige invested
x account invested with annual interest rate 8.5%
y account invested with annual interest rate 10%
x + y =<span>15,250 so x = 15,250 - y
0.085x + 0.1y = </span><span>1,411.75
substitute </span>x = 15,250 - y into 0.085x + 0.1y = 1,411.75
0.085x + 0.1y = 1411.75
0.085(15,250 - y) + 0.1y = 1,411.75
1,296.25 - 0.085y + 0.1y = 1,411.75
0.015y = 115.5
y = 7,700
x = 15,250 - y
x = x = 15,250 - 7,700
x = 7,550
answer
$7,550 invested on account with annual interest rate 8.5%
$7,700 invested on account with annual interest rate 10%
Example A, Step 1: Write a comparing the percent to the ratio of part to whole. ex- ?/25 = 28/100 *Notice that 25 is a factor of 100* Step 2: Find the multiplication factor. ex- ?*4 = 28 and 25*4 = 100 *Since 25*4 = 100, find what number times 4 equals 28* Step 3: Find the numerator. ex- 7/25 = 28/100 *Since 4*7 = 28, 28% of 25 = 7 Example B, Step 1: Write the percent as a fraction. ex-35% of 60 = 35/100 of 60 Step 2: Multiply. ex- 35/100 of 60 = 35/100x60=2100/100=21 *Simplify* Example C, Step 1: Write the percent as a decimal. ex- 5% = 5/100 = 0.05 Step 2: Multiply. ex- 180 * 0.05 = 9, 5% of 180 is 9.
3.4(x+1.58)= - 11.288
Step 1: Distribute 3.4 to the numbers inside the parentheses (x+1.58)
3.4x + (3.4×1.58)= - 11.288
3.4x + 5.372 = -11.288
Step 2: Bring 5.372 to the right side by subtracting it to both sides
3.4x + (5.372 - 5.372 ) = (-11.288 - 5.372)
3.4x + (0) = (-16.66)
3.4x = -16.66
Step 3: Isolate x by dividing 3.4 to both sides

x = -4.9
Hope this helped!
