You can put this solution on YOUR website! He invests 21000: some at 8%. Let's call this x.
 And the rest at 6%. The rest is 21000-x
 The annual return is 1600
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 0.08x+0.06(21000-x)= 1600
 0.08x+1260-0.06x = 1600
 0.02x = 240
 x= 12,000 is invested at 8% and
 21,000-12,000 = 9,000 is at 6%
