3. Penelope invested $6650 into three investment accounts, earning 8%, 12.5%, and 7.5% simple interest per
year. If the annual interest earned totaled $671.25 and the amount invested at 12.5% was $300 more than
twice the amount invested at 8%, find the amount invested into each account.

Step-by-step explanation:

$1500 was invested in the account earning 8%.

$3300 was invested in the account earning 12.5%.

$1850 was was invested in the account earning 7.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested in the account earning 8%.

Let y represent the amount invested in the account earning 12.5%.

Let z represent the amount invested in the account earning 7.5%.

Penelope invested $6650 into theee investment accounts, earning 8%, 12.5%, and 7.5% simple interest per year. It means that

x + y + z = 6650- - - - - - - - - - -1

Interest earned from the $x investment is

8/100 × x = 0.08x

Interest earned from the $y investment is

12.5/100 × x = 0.125y

Interest earned from the $z investment is

7.5/100 × x = 0.075z

If the annual interest earned totaled $671.25, it means that

0.08x + 0.125y + 0.075z = 671.25- - - - - - - 2

The amount invested at 12.5% was $300 more than twice the amount invested at 8%. It means that

y = 2x + 300

Substituting y = 2x + 300 into equation 1 and equation 2, it becomes

x + 2x + 300 + z = 6650

3x + z = 6650 - 300

3x + z = 6350- - - - - - - - - 4

0.08x + 0.125(2x + 300) + 0.075z = 671.25

0.08x + 0.25x + 37.5 + 0.075z = 671.25

0.33x + 0.075z = 671.25 - 37.5

0.33x + 0.075z = 633.75- - - - - - - 5

From equation 4, z = 6350 - 3x

Substituting z = 6350 - 3x into equation 5, it becomes

0.33x + 0.075(6350 - 3x) = 633.75

0.33x + 476.25 - 0.225x = 633.75

0.33x - 0.225x = 633.75 - 476.25

0.105x = 157.5

x = 157.5/0.105

x = 1500

y = 2x + 300

y = 2(1500) + 300

y = 3300

Substituting x = 1500 and y = 3300 into equation 1, it becomes

1500 + 3300 + z = 6650

z = 6650 - 4800

z = 1850

//blooming serenity//

beautiful in the morning

mysterious at night

wonderous nature souring

with all it's mystical might

the flower that blooms

to the fox that looms

nocturnal creatures

with various features

a blooming flower soon in sight

as a new little hatchling fears to take flight  

afraid to leave it's calming nest,

but dear little bird, mother knows best

as sure as there are stars in the sky,

life is not about who, where what, when or why-

it's the journey that follows

adventures we swallow

of   nature's deep wonders,

natural disasters and storm's thunders.

blooming serenity

life and nature, truly is heavenly.
