Melissa is planning to invest a total of $17,000 in two accounts. if she invests $10,000 in a cd paying 12% annual simple interest, at what rate does the remainder of her money need to be invested so that the two investments together yield at least $1900 in yearly simple interest? (set up and solve an inequality to answer this question.

Respuesta :

10,000 x .12= $1200.

$1200 - $1900=$700

$700/$7000=10%


She would need to get 10% from the remainder of her investments to reach $1900 for year with $17,000 to invest.
