You invested money in two funds. Last year, the first fund paid a dividend of 9% and the second a dividend of 3%, and you received a total of $879. This year, the first fund paid a 10% dividend and the second only 1%, and you received a total of $839. How much money did you invest in each fund?

$7800 was invested at 9%

$5900 was invested at 3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested in the fund that paid a dividend of 9%.

Let y represent the amount invested in the fund that paid a dividend of 3%.

Last year, the first fund paid a dividend of 9% and the second a dividend of 3%, and you received a total of $879. This means that

0.09x + 0.03y = 879- - - - - - - - - 1

This year, the first fund paid a 10% dividend and the second only 1%, and you received a total of $839. It means that

0.1x + 0.01y = 839 - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 0.1 and equation 2 by 0.09, it becomes

0.009x + 0.003y = 87.9

0.009x + 0.0009y = 75.51

Subtracting, it becomes

0.0021y = 12.39

y = 12.39/0.0021

y = 5900

Substituting y = 5900 into equation 1, it becomes

0.09x + 0.03 × 5900 = 879

0.09x + 177 = 879

0.09x = 879 - 177

0.09x = 702

x = 702/0.09

x = 7800

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
