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%
