Ralph chase plan to sell a piece of property for $160,000. He wants the money to be paid off in two ways- a short term note at 10% interest and a long term note at 7% interest. Find the amount of each note if the total annual interest paid is $13750.

Respuesta :

$85000 was paid at a short term note at 10% interest while $75000 was paid at a long term note at 7% interest.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let x represent the amount of fund at 10% and y represent the amount of fund at 7% interest, hence:

x + y = 160000   (1)

Also:

0.1x + 0.07y = 13750    (2)

From both equations:

x = 85000 and y = 75000

$85000 was paid at a short term note at 10% interest while $75000 was paid at a long term note at 7% interest.
