Question

Alina invests $1300 in one account and $1200 in an account paying 2 % higher interest. At the end of one year she had earned $99 in interest. At what rates did she invest?

Answer 1

3%

Explanation:

Apply distributive property as shown on all products-

All equations need to be distributed equally

x=3%

As shown, this should be what you do...

It's fine if you don't, but a little birdie said you should, just sayin'...

1300x+1200(x+0.02)=99

Rearrange

2500x+24=99

2500=75

`75/100\\Properties`

`3/100\\Prioritized(mathematically)`
