Real Estate 12.00% per annum ------------ Amount invested = y
5000000
Interest----- 660000.00

Food business 15.00% per annum ---x
Real Estate 12.00% per annum ---y
Total investment
x + 1 y= 5000000 -------------1
Interest on both investments
15.00% x + 12.00% y= 660000
Multiply by 100
15 x + 12 y= 66000000.00 --------2
Multiply (1) by -15
we get
-15 x -15 y= -75000000.00
Add this to (2)
0 x -3 y= -9000000
divide by -3
y = 3000000
Food business 15.00% $ 2,000,000
Real Estate 12.00% $ 3,000,000

CHECK
2000000 --------- 15.00% ------- 300000.00
3000000 ------------- 12.00% ------- 360000.00
Total -------------------- 660,000.00
