$10100 is invested in two different accounts. One account pays 13% simple interest per year and the other account pays 11% simple interest per year. If the total interest earn in one year is $1259.00, how much is invested at each rate?
Let \(\displaystyle x\) be the amount invested at 13%. Then \(\displaystyle 10100-x\) is amount invested at 11%. This gives the equation \(\displaystyle 0.13 x+0.11(10100 - x)=1259\). Solving for \(\displaystyle x\) gives \(\displaystyle x = 7400\). So the amount in the other account is $2700.
