Question

Ok.....here is another..arman, where ya at? lol :)
An investment of 40,000 was made by a business club. The investment was split into three parts and lasted for one year. The first part of the investment earned 8% interest, the second 6%, and the third 9%. Total interest from the investments was 3060. The interest from the first investment was 2 times the interest from the second. Find the amounts of the three parts of the investment.

Answer 1

i = prt

Answer 2

Arman...was this one too much for you? Ha! :)

Answer 3

Omg... give me a sec

Answer 4

LOL!

Answer 5

R U sure the next to last sentence is accurate?

Answer 6

hmmm lemme c

Answer 7

The interstate formula doesn't do anything, the interstate values are totals

Answer 8

Yes it's right. @ Arman....what?!

Answer 9

This problem is a owletgit lolol

Answer 10

Yeah, I know it's tough~

Answer 11

I think it is stated incorrectly. The next to last statement should be about the amounts.

3060 = .08(2x) + .06(x) + .09(40000 - 3x)

Answer 12

lemme c

Answer 13

306000 = 8(2x) + 6(x) + 9(40000 - 3x)
306000 = 16x + 6x + 360000 - 27x
306000 = -5x + 360000
5x = 54000
x = 10500

Answer 14

8% = $21000
6% = $10500
9% = $8500

Answer 15

nope. that's what it says.....

Answer 16

do the first part is 21000?

Answer 17

*so

Answer 18

A is 3889.83, b is 2593.22 and c is 33516.95... the values are not 100% precise because a endless rationale was involved

Answer 19

but the total was only like 3060.

Answer 20

Total is 40k

Answer 21

interest i mean

Answer 22

I see what I did wrong. Tommy another sec

Answer 23

let x, y and z be the 1st, 2nd and the 3rd investments respectively. according to the given informations, we have the following three equations;
\[x+y+z=40,000 \rightarrow(1)\]
\[0.08x+0.06y+0.09z=3060 \rightarrow(2)\]
\[0.08x=2(0.06y) \rightarrow(3)\]

Answer 24

.......

Answer 25

solving three equations, we get that:
first investment x=18,000
second investment y=12,000
third investment z=10,000

Answer 26

the three*

Answer 27
