Investment A man has $235,000 invested in threerental properties. One property earns 7.5% per yearon the investment, a second earns 10%, and the thirdearns 8%. The annual earnings from the propertiestotal $18,000.a. Write a system of two equations to represent theproblem, with x, y, and z representing the 7.5%,10%, and 8% investments, respectively.b. Solve this system.c. If $60,000 is invested at 8%, how much is investedin each of the other properties?
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
Investment A man has $235,000 invested in three
rental properties. One property earns 7.5% per year
on the investment, a second earns 10%, and the third
earns 8%. The annual earnings from the properties
total $18,000.
a. Write a system of two equations to represent the
problem, with x, y, and z representing the 7.5%,
10%, and 8% investments, respectively.
b. Solve this system.
c. If $60,000 is invested at 8%, how much is invested
in each of the other properties?
