Susan invests 2 times as much money at 9% as she does at 5%. If her total interest after 1 year is $1380, how much does she have invested at each rate?

She invested $12000 at 9% and $6000 at 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount which she invested in the account paying 9% interest.

Let y represent the amount which she invested in the account paying 5% interest.

Susan invests 2 times as much money at 9% as she does at 5%.. This means that

x = 2y

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Considering the account paying 9% interest,

P = $x

T = 1 year

R = 9℅

I = (x × 9 × 1)/100 = 0.09x

Considering the account paying 5% interest,

P = $y

T = 1 year

R = 5℅

I = (y × 5 × 1)/100 = 0.05y

If her total interest after 1 year is $1380, it means that

0.09x + 0.05y = 1380 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 2y into equation 1, it becomes

0.09 × 2y + 0.05y = 1380

0.18y + 0.05y = 1380

0.23y = 1380

y = 1380/0.23

y = 6000

x = 2y = 2 × 6000

x = 12000

idk the answer i want to say 10 but then it would be equal so try 9 but then yeah so yeah we love edgen
