A mother earned ​$11250.00 from royalties on her cookbook. She set aside​ 20% of this for a down payment on a new home. The balance will be used for her​ son's future education. She invests a portion of the money in a bank certificate of deposit​ (CD account) that earns​ 4% and the remainder in a savings bond that earns​ 7%. If the total interest earned after one year is ​$540.00​, how much money was invested at each​ rate?

Answer:

Investment in CD 4,464 credit

Investment in bonds 4,464 credit

Explanation:

11,250 - 20% = 9,000

A + B = 9,000

A = 900 - B

A x 0.04 + B x 0.07 = 540

(900-B) x 0.04 + 0.07B = 540

0.11B = 540- 36 = 504

B = 4,536

A = 9,000 - 4,536 = 4,464
