Emma has money in two savings accounts. One rate is 6% and the other is 14%. If she has $950 more in the 14% account and the total interest is $342, how much is invested in each savings account?

Respuesta :

The amount invested in the account that has a rate of 14% is $1767

The amount invested in the account that has a rate of 6% is $1425.

What are the linear equations that represent the question

0.06a + 0.14b = 342 equation 1

b - a = $950 equation 2

Where:

a = amount invested in the account that has a rate of 6%

b =  = amount invested in the account that has a rate of 14%

How much was invested in each account?

Multiply equation 2 by 0.06

0.06b - 0.06a = 57 equation 3

Subtract equation 3 from equation 2

285 = 0.2a

a = 285 / 0.2

a = 1425

Substitute for a in equation 2

b - 1425 = 342

b = 1425 + 342

b = $1767
