Math Problem Statement
A bank loaned out $120,000, part of it at the flat rate of 12% per year and the rest at the flat rate of 6% per year. If, after one year, the total interest received on both loans was $13,200, how much was loaned at 12%
? (Simple interest is paid once, at the end of the year.) answer this in whole number
Solution
Let's denote the amount loaned at 12% as , and the amount loaned at 6% as .
The interest received from the amount loaned at 12% is:
The interest received from the amount loaned at 6% is:
The total interest received after one year is the sum of these two amounts:
Now, let's solve this equation for .
-
Distribute the 0.06:
-
Combine like terms:
-
Subtract 7,200 from both sides:
-
Divide both sides by 0.06 to solve for :
So, the amount loaned at 12% is $100,000.
