Let's break down this problem step-by-step.
**a. Mathematical Statements (Inequalities)**
* **Variables:**
* Let 'x' be the amount deposited in the 4% interest bank.
* Let 'y' be the amount deposited in the 6% interest bank.
* **Inequalities:**
1. **Total Deposit:** The total deposit is at least Php 150,000.
* x + y ≥ 150,000
2. **Total Interest:** The total interest is at most Php 12,000.
* 0.04x + 0.06y ≤ 12,000
3. **Non-negativity:** Deposits cannot be negative.
* x ≥ 0
* y ≥ 0
**b. Graph the System**
1. **x + y ≥ 150,000**
* Graph the line x + y = 150,000.
* Intercepts: (150,000, 0) and (0, 150,000).
* Shade the region above the line.
2. **0.04x + 0.06y ≤ 12,000**
* Simplify: Multiply by 100: 4x + 6y ≤ 1,200,000.
* Simplify further: Divide by 2: 2x + 3y ≤ 600,000.
* Graph the line 2x + 3y = 600,000.
* Intercepts: (300,000, 0) and (0, 200,000).
* Shade the region below the line.
3. **x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0**
* This restricts the solution to the first quadrant.
4. **The Solution Region:** The solution is the area where all shaded regions overlap.
**c. Two Possible Amounts**
1. **Point 1: (150,000, 0)**
* x = 150,000 (4% bank)
* y = 0 (6% bank)
* Total deposit: 150,000
* Total interest: 0.04(150,000) + 0.06(0) = 6,000
* This point satisfies both conditions.
2. **Point 2: (100,000, 200,000)**
* x=100,000 (4% bank)
* y=200,000 (6% bank)
* Total deposit: 300,000
* Total interest: 0.04(100,000) + 0.06(200,000) = 4,000 + 12,000 = 16,000. This point does not satisfy the total interest constraint.
* We need a point that is within the solution set.
* Let's test the point (200,000, 100,000)
* x=200,000 (4% bank)
* y=100,000 (6% bank)
* Total deposit: 300,000
* Total interest: 0.04(200,000) + 0.06(100,000) = 8,000 + 6,000 = 14,000. This point does not satisfy the total interest constraint.
* Let's test the point (250,000, 50,000)
* x=250,000 (4% bank)
* y=50,000 (6% bank)
* Total deposit: 300,000
* Total interest: 0.04(250,000) + 0.06(50,000) = 10,000 + 3,000 = 13,000. This point does not satisfy the total interest constraint.
* Let's test the point (180,000, 20,000)
* x=180,000 (4% bank)
* y=20,000 (6% bank)
* Total deposit: 200,000
* Total interest: 0.04(180,000) + 0.06(20,000) = 7,200 + 1,200 = 8,400. This point satisfies the constraints.
**d. Bank Account Preference**
* If I were Mr. Agoncillo, I would place a greater amount of money in the 6% interest bank.
* **Reasoning:**
* The 6% interest bank provides a higher return on investment.
* Even though there is a constraint on the total interest, maximizing the amount in the 6% bank within the constraints will yield a higher overall return.
* However, if Mr. Agoncillo has other considerations such as risk tolerance or liquidity needs, he might opt for a different allocation.
