Total money $45,000
annual income of $4290 from this money.
5%,(45000-3x)
8%,,----------------x
and 12% ------------2x (double of x)
equate the interest
(45000-3x)*5% +8%x+12%(2x)=4290
multiply by 100
(45000-3x)*5 +8x+12(2x)=4290*100
225000-15x+8x+24x=429000
17x= 429000-225000
17x=204000
/17
x=204000/17
x=12000 nvestment @ 8%
Now you can calculate the other amounts
