Solution

Claro, vamos a resolver el problema paso a paso.

  1. Definamos las variables:

    • Sea x x la cantidad de dinero que Matías invirtió en la cuenta que paga 7% de interés simple por año.
    • Sea y y la cantidad de dinero que Matías invirtió en la cuenta que paga 6% de interés simple por año.
  2. Establezcamos las ecuaciones:

    • Sabemos que la suma del dinero invertido en ambas cuentas es US$30,000: x+y=30,000 x + y = 30,000
    • También sabemos que el interés total recibido después de un año es US$1,830. El interés recibido de la cuenta que paga 7% es 0.07x 0.07x y el interés recibido de la cuenta que paga 6% es 0.06y 0.06y . Entonces: 0.07x+0.06y=1,830 0.07x + 0.06y = 1,830
  3. Resolvamos el sistema de ecuaciones:

    • Primero, despejamos y y de la primera ecuación: y=30,000x y = 30,000 - x
    • Sustituimos y y en la segunda ecuación: 0.07x+0.06(30,000x)=1,830 0.07x + 0.06(30,000 - x) = 1,830
    • Simplificamos y resolvemos para x x : 0.07x+1,8000.06x=1,830 0.07x + 1,800 - 0.06x = 1,830 0.01x+1,800=1,830 0.01x + 1,800 = 1,830 0.01x=30 0.01x = 30 x=3,000 x = 3,000
  4. Encontramos y y :

    • Sustituimos x x en la ecuación y=30,000x y = 30,000 - x : y=30,0003,000 y = 30,000 - 3,000 y=27,000 y = 27,000
  5. Conclusión:

    • Matías invirtió US$3,000 en la cuenta que paga 7% de interés simple por año.
    • Matías invirtió US$27,000 en la cuenta que paga 6% de interés simple por año.
