Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
CD 8.00% per annum
MF 9.00% per annum
x+y 1200 ------------------------1
8.00%x+ 9.00% y = $101.00
Multiply by 100
8x+9y= $10,100.00 --------2
Multiply (1) by -8
we get
-8x-8y= -9600.00
Add this to (2)
0x +1y = $500.00
divide by 1
y=$500.00 investment at 9.00%
Balance $700.00 investment at 8.00%
CHECK
$500.00 ------- $45.00
$700.00 ------ $56.00
$101.00
