Jose invests $10900 in two different accounts. The first account paid 8 %, the second account paid 11 % in interest. At the end of the first year he had earned $1052 in interest. How much was in each account?

$ at 8 %

$at 11 %

$4900 at 8%

$6000 at 11%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount which he invested in the account paying 8% interest.

Let y represent the amount which he invested in the account paying 11% interest.

Jose invests $10900 in two different accounts. The first account paid 8 %, the second account paid 11 % in interest. This means that

x + y = 10900

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Considering the account paying 8% interest,

P = $x

T = 1 year

R = 8℅

I = (x × 12 × 1)/100 = 0.08x

Considering the account paying 11% interest,

P = $y

T = 1 year

R = 11℅

I = (y × 6 × 1)/100 = 0.11y

At the end of the first year he had earned $1052 in interest., it means that

0.08x + 0.11y = 1052 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 10900 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.08(10900 - y) + 0.11y = 1052

872 - 0.08y + 0.11y = 1052

- 0.08y + 0.11y = 1052 - 872

0.03y = 180

y = 180/0.03

y = 6000

x = 10900 - y = 10900 - 6000

x = 4900

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
