A 50,000 Investment To 2 Places Nets -850. One Gains 6% One Loses 8%. What Are The Investments?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Let x = the investment at -8%, then 50,000-x = the investment at 6%.

    -8%(x) + 6%(50,000 - x) = -850
    x(-8%-6%) + 6%(50,000) = -850
    x(-14%) + 3000 = -850
    x(-.14) = -3850
    x = -3850/-.14 = 27,500 = investment at -8%
    50,000 - x = 22,500 = investment at +6%
