Phyllis invested 66000 dollars, a portion earning simple interest rate of 5% per year and the rest earning a rate of 7% per year. after one year the total interest earned on these investments was $3980. how much money did she invest at each rate?

Physliis invested 32000 dollar at 5% interest rate and 34000 dollar at 7% interest rate.

Solution:

Let Phyllis invest ‘x’ dollar at 5% per year and (66000-x) dollar at 7% per year.

We know,

In the question it is given that Simple interest earned from both the investments at the end of the year is $3980.

Using the given below equation, we will try to find out the investments at each rate.

x = 32000

We can calculate amount for 7% interest rate by,

(66000-32000) =34000

Thus Phyllis invested 32000 dollar at 5% interest rate and 34000 dollar at 7% interest rate.

step-by-step explanation:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since     2010 0     1     2     3       4       5

profits made in 1000's   39       84     111     120   111     84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120,   then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.
