You invested $25,000 into two accounts: one that has simple 3% interest, the other with 2% interest. If your total interest payment after one year was $600, how much was in each account after the year passed?

Answer 1

If x is at 3%, then

.03x + .02(25000-x) = 600
Having found x, then the two accounts hold

1.03x and 1.02(25000-x)
