Please solve?

a bank loaned out 14000$ to a college student. part of this money was at a rate of 7% per year and the rest of the 14000$ was a a rate of15% per year. if the bank recieved 15000$ in interest how much was the loan at 7%?



Please solve?fast loan





Let the loan amount at 7% be $x.Therefore,the amount of loan at 15% is $14000-x



By the problem,



0.07x+0,15(14000-x)=15000-14000=1000



or,0.07x+2100-0.15x=1000



or,-0.08x=1000-2100= -1100



or x= -1100/-0.08



=13,750



Therefore,the loan at 7% was $13,750

This question is impossible unless the question specifies how long after the loan was taken out did the student pay it back.
