1.) Mrs. Bautista invested 27000 pesos, part at 8% and the rest
at 11%. How much did she invest at each if her total annual
income from both investment was 2460 pesos.
Required:
x = ? (amount invested at 8%)
27000 – x = ? (amount invested at 11%)
Table:

P r t I
8% x 0.08 1 0.08x
11% 27000 - x 0.11 1 0.11 (27000 – x)
total 27000 2460
Solution:
0.08 x + 0.11(27000 – x) = 2460
x = 17000 pesos
27000 – x = 10000 pesos

25000

Solution:
