    3. To get the necessary funds for a planned expansion, a small company took out three
    loans totaling $30,000. Company owners were able to secure interest rates of 8%, 9%,
    and 10% for these loans. They borrowed $1000 more at 9% than they borrowed at 10%.
    The total annual interest on the three loans was $2620. How much did the company
    borrow at each rate?

    6. An economy depends on two basic products, wheat and oil. To produce 1 metric ton of
    wheat requires 0.2 metric tons of wheat and 0.3 metric tons of oil. The production of 1
    metric ton of oil consumes 0.06 metric tons of wheat and 0.12 metric tons of oil.
    a) Find the production, correct to one decimal place, that will satisfy an external
    demand of 600 metric tons of wheat and 1200 metric tons of oil. (10 marks)
    b) Find the amount of goods consumed in the internal process of production in order to
    meet this total output. Express your answer correctly rounded to one decimal place.
