Papgust

by shashank.ism » Mon Feb 15, 2010 11:46 pm
Papgust invested a total of $10,000 for a period of one year. Part of the money he put into an investment that earned 6 percent simple interest, and the rest of the money into an investment that earned 8 percent simple interest. How much money did he put into the investment that earned 6 percent?

(A) The total interest earned on the $10,000 for the year was $640.
(B) The dollar value of the investment that earned 6 percent was four times the dollar value of the investment that earned 8 percent.

(B) The dollar value of the investment that earned 6 percent was four times the dollar value of the investment that earned 8 percent.
A) sufficient
0.06x + 0.08 (10000-x) = 640
0.02x = 160
x=8000

B) x = 4(10000-x)
5x =40000
x=80000

Sufficient

D
