An executive invests $23,000, some at 8% and some at 4% annual interest. If he receives an annual return of $1,560, how much is invested at each rate?
Let x be the amount invested at 8% and y be the amount invested at 4%. We have two equations:
x = 16,000
y = 7,000
Let x be the amount invested at 8% and y be the amount invested at 4%. We have two equations:
- x + y = 23,000
- 0.08x + 0.04y = 1,560
x = 16,000
y = 7,000
