Things did not go quite as planned. You invested $21360, part of it in a stock that paid 12% annual interest. However, the rest of the money suffered a 5% loss. If the total annual income from both investments was $, how much was invested at each rate? How much money was invested at 12% annual interest?

1992

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount invested at 12%.

Then the rest amount is (21360-x) dollars.

The 12% stock earning is 0.12x dollars.

The rest amount loss  is 0.05*(21360-x) dollars.

Your equation is

interest - loss            = total interest,    or

0.12x     - 0.05*(21360-x) = 1992    dollars.

Simplify and solve for x.

$25

step-by-step explanation:

25 - 4.50 = 20.5

20.5 / 2 = 10.25

10.25 + 10 = 20.25

20.25 - 12.50 = 7.75

therefore the answer is $25 as shown as the first number.
