You can put this solution on YOUR website! Investment I 12.00% per annum ------------- Amount invested =x
Investment II 8.00% per annum ------------ Amount invested = y
8000
Interest----- 825
Investment I 12.00% per annum ---x
Investment II 8.00% per annum ---y
Credit on both cards
x + 1 y= 8000 -------------1
Interestto be paid on both
12.00% x + 8.00% y= 825
Multiply by 100
12 x + 8 y= 82500.00 --------2
Multiply (1) by -12
we get
-12 x -12 y= -96000.00
Add this to (2)
0 x -4 y= -13500
divide by -4
y = 3375
Investment I 12.00% $ 4625
Investment II 8.00% $ 3375
