Application problems
Ex.5 (#37) One safe investment pays 10% per year, and a more risky investment pays 18% per year. A
woman who has $145,600 to invest would like to have an income of $20,000 per year from her investments.
How much should she invest at each rate?

 

Ex.6 (#44) A biologist has a 40% solution and a 10% solution of the same plant nutrient. How many cubic
centimeters of each solution should be mixed to obtain 25 cc of a 28% solution?
