Murray’s father deposited $6,000 of his savings into two accounts. One account earns 1.5 percent interest, and the other account earns 2.5 percent interest. At the end the year, the interest in the account that earned 2.5 percent was $110.00 more than the other account. Which system represents the amounts of money, x and y, that was put into each account?

x + y = 6,000. 0.025 x + 0.015 y = 110.
x + y = 6,000. 0.25 x + 0.15 y = 110.
x + y = 6,000. 0.025 x minus 0.015 y = 110.
x + y = 6,000. 2.5 x minus 1.5 y = 110.
