Splitting investments. Joan had $3,000 to invest. She invested part of it in an investment paying 8% and the remainder in an investment paying 10%. If the total income on three investments was $290, than how much did she invest at each rate?

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Let assume that the invested amount in the investment paying 8% interest is a

Now, since the total amount invested = $3000.

Then, the amount invested in the investment that will be paying 10% interest can be represented as:

= $(3000-a)

Income earned on $a that is being invested in 8% interest = $a × 8/100 = $0.08a

Income earned from $(3000-a)  in the 10% investment is:

= $(3000-a)× 10/100

= $(300 - 0.1a)

Since total income of the two investment = $290;

Then;

0.08a + (300 - 0.1a) = 290

0.08a + 300 - 0.1a = 20-

300 - 0.02a = 290

-0.02a = -10

a = -10/-0.02

x = 500

Thus;

the amount invested in an investment paying 8% interest = $500

the amount invested in an investment paying 10% interest = $(3000 - 500) = $2500

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
