Description | Steps |
Assign variables for the unknown that we need to find | Let x be the amount invested in municipal bond paying 5.75% as interest, and y be the amount invested in municipal bond paying 6.25% as interest |
Write an equation based on total amount of investment. Amount invested in municipal bond paying 5.75% interest + Amount invested in municipal bond paying 6.25% interest = Total investment | |
Use the interest formula to find the interest amount earned due to the investment in municipal bond paying 5.75% interest in one year |
Calculation (Continued):
Description | Steps |
Use the interest formula to find the interest amount earned due to the investment in municipal bond paying 6.25% interest in one year | |
Write an equation based on the information that Annual interest income required for the investments is $1900 | |
Label the system of equations | |
Solve the 1st equation for y by subtracting x on both sides | |
Substitute 32000 − x for y in the 2nd equation | |
Distribute 0.0625 in the left side of the equation | |
Group and combine like terms | |
In the process of solving for x subtract 2000 on both sides of the equation and simplify | |
Dividing -0.005 on both sides and simplify fraction on both sides | |
Substitute 20000 for x in |
Conclusion:
The amount invested in municipal bond paying 5.75% as interest is $20000 and the amount invested in municipal bond paying 5.75% as interest is $12000
