A:
Answer:In the account that paid 6% Susan invest [tex]\$6,000[/tex]In the account that paid 5% Susan invest [tex]\$4,000[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:we know that The simple interest formula is equal to [tex]I=P(rt)[/tex] where I is the Final Interest Value P is the Principal amount of money to be invested r is the rate of interest Β t is Number of Time Periods Part a) account that paid 6% simple interest per yearin this problem we have [tex]t=1\ years\\ P=\$x\\r=0.06[/tex] substitute in the formula above [tex]I1=x(0.06*1)[/tex] [tex]I1=0.06x[/tex] Part b) account that paid 5% simple interest per yearin this problem we have [tex]t=1\ years\\ P=\$10,000-\$x\\r=0.05[/tex] substitute in the formula above [tex]I2=(10,000-x)(0.05*1)[/tex] [tex]I2=500-0.05x[/tex] we know that[tex]I1+I2=\$560[/tex]substitute and solve for x[tex]0.06x+500-0.05x=560[/tex][tex]0.01x=560-500[/tex][tex]0.01x=60[/tex][tex]x=\$6.000[/tex]thereforeIn the account that paid 6% Susan invest [tex]\$6,000[/tex]In the account that paid 5% Susan invest [tex]\$4,000[/tex]
