A businessman invested fifty million pesos part at five and a half percent
and the rest at six percent per year. His annual income from both investments
was one million six hundred thousand pesos. How much was each investment?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Even the entire amount of 50000000 pesos taken at the lower rate of 5.5% = 0.055 is the value

        0.055 * 50000000 = 2,750,000 pesos,

which is  GREATER  than the given annual interest.

It means that the problem is posed  INCORRECTLY  and  HAS  NO  solution in positive real numbers.
