\n" ); document.write( "solution
\n" ); document.write( "let amounts are x and 15500-x
\n" ); document.write( "interest are 0.09x and 0.
\n" ); document.write( "02(15500-x)
\n" ); document.write( "as per condition
\n" ); document.write( "0.09x+0.02(15500-x)=660
\n" ); document.write( "0.09x-0.02x+310=660
\n" ); document.write( "0.07x=660-310
\n" ); document.write( "0.07x=350
\n" ); document.write( "x=350/0.07=5000
\n" ); document.write( "and other is 15500-5000=10500
\n" ); document.write( "answer $5000 at the rate of 9% and $10500 at 2%
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
