3. Luisa invested $30000, part at 9% and part at 5%. If the total profit you receive is $1950 for the
2 accounts, how much did you invest at each interest rate?

Development:
The equations are formulated on the basis of the information in the problem.

C1=x i1= 9%

C2=30.000-x

i2=5%It=(C1)(I1)(t)+(C2)

(I2)(t)

It=(X)(0.09)(1)+(30,000-x)(0.05)(1)

1950=0.09x+1500-0.05x

1950-1500=0.09x-0.05x

450=0.04x

0.04x=450

𝑥= = 11.250
0.04

𝑥 = 11.250
 C1=11.250

C2=30.000-11.250= 18.750

Answer: Luisa invested at each interest rate $18,750.00 dollars.

4. In a fast food store, 2 arepas and 3 sets cost $7 (seven dollars). The cost of 4 arepas and 2
sets is $10. Determine the cost of the arepas and juices.

5. Teresa Rodriguez, an appliance saleswoman, receives a fixed weekly salary plus a commission,
which is a percentage of her sales. One week, between fixed salary and the percentage for sales of
$3000, he receives $850. The following week, between the fixed salary and the percentage of
sales of
$4000 receives $1000. Determine your weekly salary and the percentage you receive for your
sales. Remember: fixed weekly salary + weekly commission = weekly salary.

Development:
Weekly fixed salary + weekly commission = weekly salary

Answer: Weekly salary

of $2,661.00 and
