     Don invested part of her money @8% & the remainder @10%.

     If she invested 400,000 & she received a total of 37,000 in interest.

     How much did she invest in each rate?

     0.08x + 0.1(400,000 - x) = 37,000

     x = 150,000.

     Don invested 150,000 @8% rate and 250,00 @10% rate.

    (a * 8 %) + (b * 10 %) = 37000

    0.08a + 0.1b = 37000 → given that: a + b = 400000 → a = 400000 - b

    0.08.(400000 - b) + 0.1b = 37000

    32000 - 0.08b + 0.1b = 37000

    0.02b = 5000

    b = 5000/0.02

    b = 250000 → recall: a = 400000 - b → a = 150000

    Resume:

    150000 @ 8 %

    250000 @ 10 %
