Thomas invested a total of $5000 at the beginning of the year in two different funds.  At the end of the year, her investment had grown to $5531.  The money in the first fund earn 9%, while the money in the second fund earned 13.5%.  How much of the $5000 was invested in each fund at the beginning of the year?
 
2975 and 2025.
 
3200 and 1800
 
-- edit for reference & correction  --
 
Misread the first time. 13.5% vs 13%; numbers rounded based on celly calculator values.
 
Assume X and Y for values of first and second funds, respectively.
 
X + Y = 5000 / Y = 5000 - X / X = 5000 - Y
 
1.09X + 1.135Y = 5531
 
Solve for X
 
1.09X + 1.135(5000 - X) = 5531
 
1.09X + 5675 - 1.135X = 5531
 
-0.045X = -144
 
X = 3200
 
Y = 5000-3200 = 1800

if you could travel anywhere in the world for free, where would you go?
 
Still a bit of a puppy. I can handle a good amount of daves scorpian pepper sauce on tacos, but straight chocolate scorpian powder that Mike sent me WOW. I tasted about half a tea spoon of that stuff and nearly died. The taste was awesome, but I have never experianced that kind of heat. It was Awesome!!


What spice mix do you make with your peppers?
 
I just straight up powder them and use as is. One of these days I will need to make a proper chili mix instead of eyeballing it every time.
 
What is your vice of choice?
 
Sushi! I spent time in Japan when I was in the USNavy in the 80s. ADICTED
