In Exercises 33-11, use the four-step strategy to solve each problem. Use x, y, and z to represent unknown quantities. Then translate from the verbal conditions of the problem to a system of three equations in three variables.
A person invested $6700 for one year, part al 8%. part al10%. and the remainder al 12%. The total annual income from these investments was $716. The amount of money invested at 12% was $300 more than the amount invested at 8% and 10% combined. Find the amount invested al each rate.

- Translate to a system of equations and solve: Jill’s Sandwich Shoppe owes $65,200 on two business loans, one at 4.5% interest and the other at 7.2% interest. The total amount of interest owed last year was $3,582. What was the principal for each loan?arrow_forwardTranslate to a system of equations and then solve: Mark went to the gym and did 40 minutes of Bikram hot yoga and 10 minutes of jumping jacks. He burned 510 calories. The next time he went to the gym, he did 30 minutes of Bikram hot yoga and 20 minutes of jumping jacks burning 470 calories. How many calories were burned for each minute of yoga? How many calories were burned for each minute of jumping jacks?arrow_forwardTranslate to a system of equations and then solve: Charlie left his mother’s house traveling at an average speed of 36 miles per hour. His sister Sally left 15 minutes (1/4 hour) later traveling the same route at an average speed of 42 miles per hour. How long before Sally catches up to Charlie?arrow_forward
