Ralph Chase plans to sell a piece of property for 175000. He wants the money to be paid off in two ways - a short term note at 12% interest and a long term note at 9% interest. Find the amount of each know if the total annual interest paid is 18600

Answer:
Short term interest on 12% will be: 21000
Long term interest on 9% will be: 15750
Step-by-step explanation:
Find % for both terms
First: what is 12% of 175000?
Y is 12% of 175000
Equation: Y = P% × X (Y = P% multiply by X)
Solving our equation for Y
Y = P% × X
Y = 12% × 175000
Converting percent to decimal:
p = 12%/100 = 0.12
Y = 0.12 × 175000
Y = 21000
Now
What is 9% of 175000?
Y is 9% of 175000
Equation: Y = P% × X
Solving our equation for Y
Y = P% × X
Y = 9% × 175000
Converting percent to decimal:
p = 9%/100 = 0.09
Y = 0.09 × 175000
Y = 15750
At the end: find if total annual interest paid is 18600
So,
18600 is how much % of 175000 =10.63%
