Paul has $ 25000 to invest. His intent is to earn 11 % interest on his investment. He can invest part of his money at 6 % interest and part at 15 % interest. How much does Paul need to invest in each option to make get a total 11 % return on his $ 30000 ?

  x=11 111.11 USD  - investments at 6% interest

25000-11 111.11= 13 888.89 USD investments at 15 % interest

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul wants to have 11% from 25000 USD that is 0.11*25000=2750 USD

Let Paul invests x USD at 6% interest (which makes him 0.06*x USD yearly) and the residual amount, i.e.

25000-x at 15% interest. (Which makes 0.15*(25000-x)= 3750-0.15*x ).

So the total return per year:

0.06*x+3750-0.15*x=2750

3750-0.09*x-2750=0

1000-0.09*x=0

x=1000/0.09

x=11 111.11 USD  - investments at 6% interest

25000-11 111.11= 13 888.89 USD investments at 15 % interest

$2416.6

step-by-step explanation:

per hour = $ 25

total work time = 35

commission = 15%

total she has to make = $ 4,500

let she sold x dollar products

so her commission will be 15 % of x

now

total = weekly basic pay + commission

4500= (25*35) + 15 % of x

4500=875 + * x

4500-875 =   * x

3625= * x

multiplying wwith 100 on both sides gives

36250 = 15 x

now

x =  

x= $2416.6
