Bonds 12.00% per annum ------------- Amount invested =x
Savings 4.00% per annum ------------ Amount invested = y
20000
Interest----- 740.00
Bonds 12.00% per annum ---x
Savings 4.00% per annum ---y
Total investment
x + 1 y= 20000 -------------1
Interest on both investments
12.00% x + 4.00% y= 740
Multiply by 100
12 x + 4 y= 74000.00 --------2
Multiply (1) by -12
we get
-12 x -12 y= -240000.00
Add this to (2)
0 x -8 y= -166000
divide by -8
y = 20750
Bonds 12.00% $ -750
Savings 4.00% $ 20750
CHECK
-750 --------- 12.00% ------- -90.00
20750 ------------- 4.00% ------- 830.00
Total -------------------- 740.00
