(13) Dan invested a total of 12, 000. He invested some of that money at 3%

and some at 5%. After one year, he earned a total of 460 in interest.

How much did Dan invest at each rate of interest?

1 answer

If x is at 3%, then the rest (12000-x) is at 5%. So, add up the interest:

.03x + .05(12000-x) = 460
