i got a test in a few days and i need to get better at this word problems.. i need to solve an equation or system of equations. these are some of the homework problems that are getting to annoy me :/


1. Mrs Thomas has $15,000 to invest. she will invest part of it in a corporate bond that pays 8% interest per year and the rest in a stock that pays 11% interest per year. how should she apportion the $15,000 between the bond and the stock so that her total yearly interest will be 10% of her investments?

2. A storekeeper is preparing a mixture of peanuts and raisins. if she sells peanuts for $1.60 per pound and raisins for $1.85 per pound, how many pounds of each should he use to prepare 50 pounds of mixture selling for $1.70 per pound?

3 seven thousand concert tickets worth $137,125 were sold. General admission tickets sold for $22 a piece while standing-room-only tickets sold for $14.50 each. how many of each type were sold?

if anyone can help me with these ill really appreciate it. if anything help me get the equation at least for each then ill try to solve
