Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

A man invests $5,200, part at 4% and the balance at 3%. If his total income for the two investments is $194, how much money did he invest at each rate?

Let x = amount ($) invested at 4%

then

5200-x = amount ($) invested at 3%

.04x + .03(5200-x) = 194

.04x + 156-.03x = 194

.01x + 156 = 194

.01x = 38

x = $3800 (amount invested at 4%)

amount invested at 3%:

5200-3800 = $1400

Or

Let $x be the amount of money that a man invested in 3% account and $y be the amount of money a man invested at 4% account. The problem can be modelled by the system of two equations.

1. The income for the 1st investment is $0.03x and the income for the 2nd investment is $0.04y.

If his total income for the two investments is $194, then

0.03x+0.04y=194.

2. If a man invests $5,200, part at 4% and the balance at 3%, then

x+y=5,200.

3. You get a system of equations:

x+y=5,200

0.03x+0.04y=194

From the 1st equation express x and substitute it into the 2nd equation:

0.03(5,200-y)+0.04y=194,

156-0.03y+0.04y=194,

0.01y=38

y=3,800

Then x=5,200-3,800=1400

Answer: $1,400 at 3% and $3,800 at 4%.
