Question

Maria invests a total of $16,000 in two accounts. The first account earned a rate of return of 15% (after a year). However, the second account suffered a 14% loss in the same time period. At the end of one year, the total amount of money gained was $225.00. How much was invested into each account?

$ was invested at 15% and

$ was invested at 14%.

Answer 1

0.15x - 0.14(16000 - x) = 225

0.29x - 2240 = 225

0.29x = 2465

x = 8500

$8500 was invested at 15% and $7500 was invested at 14%.
