Part I 12.00% per annum ------------- Amount invested =x
Part II 4.00% per annum ------------ Amount invested = y
30000
Interest----- 2400.00
Part I 12.00% per annum ---x
Part II 4.00% per annum ---y
Total investment
x + 1 y= 30000 -------------1
Interest on both investments
12.00% x + 4.00% y= 2400
Multiply by 100
12 x + 4 y= 240000.00 --------2
Multiply (1) by -12
we get
-12 x -12 y= -360000.00
Add this to (2)
0 x -8 y= -120000
divide by -8
y = 15000
Part I 12.00% $ 15000
Part II 4.00% $ 15000
CHECK
15000 --------- 12.00% ------- 1800.00
15000 ------------- 4.00% ------- 600.00
Total -------------------- 2400.00
