You invested $7000 in two accounts paying 2/5 and 5% annual interest, respectively. If the total interest earned for the year was $230, how much was invested at each rate?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The two amounts are x and 7000-x the interest on the two amounts is: .004x and .05(7000-x) The total interest is $230 so: .004+.05(7000-x)=230

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Assuming that you meant 2/5 % that is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I meant 2% and 5% respectively.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So instead of 2/5% it would be 2%

OpenStudy (mertsj):

ok. replace .004 with .02
