1. Michelle invested $10,000 for one year, part at 8% interest and the rest at 12% annual interest. Her total interest for the year was $944. How much money did she invest at 12% interest?
2. In one year, Carol earned the same amount of interest from an investment at 8% annual interest as an investment at 12% annual interest. She had invested $1500 more at 8%. How much money did she have invested 12%?
Well, I would have posted a little bit of work on these, its just that I dont understand word problems at all. Once I am able to get down to the start of an equation, I should be able to get these completed. I'm not asking for you to do the for me, (I'm not saying that wouldn't be nice
) I am just simply asking to help get started on these problems
Thanks for the help
