Question

The left bank is offering CDs at 5%. The right bank is offering a money market account at 4%. If I have a total of $10,000 to invest in these accounts and want a return (accrued interest) on my money of $436 from both accounts at the end of one year, how much should I put into each account?

 

Fill in below with the information to set up the system of equations:  State your answer in complete sentences.

$ put into CD account(________)  + $ put into money market(_________) = Total $$ invested(__________) 

CD interest Money(_________) + Money market interest(________)=Total interest(__________)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Fill in below with the information to set up the system of equations:  State your answer in complete sentences.

 

$ put into CD account (__X__)  + $ put into money market (_10,000-X_) = Total $ invested (_10,000_) 

CD interest Money (_X*5%_) + Money market interest (_(10,000-X)*4%__)=Total interest (_436_)
