A businessman invested fifty million pesos part at five and a half percent

was one million six hundred thousand pesos. How much was each investment?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Even the entire amount of 50000000 pesos taken at the lower rate of 5.5% = 0.055 is the value

0.055 * 50000000 = 2,750,000 pesos,

which is GREATER than the given annual interest.

It means that the problem is posed INCORRECTLY and HAS NO solution in positive real numbers.
