Sally's $ 1800 savings is in two accounts. Her total interest for the year was $ 93 from one account earning 6 % interest and another earning 3 % interest.

Question

How much does she have in each account?

Answer 1

S=amt at 6% and T=amt at 3%

S+T=1800

.06S + .03T = 93

Multiply the 1st equation by 3 and the 2nd equation by 100, then subtract to eliminate the T.

Solve for S and go back and get the answer for T from the first equation.
