.

Write equation for the total interest

    0.09*x + 0.1*(2x) + 0.11*(3x) = 27900


where x is the amount invested at 9%.


Simplify this equation and find x

    x = 27900%2F%280.09+%2B+0.1%2A2+%2B+0.11%2A3%29 = 45000.    


ANSWER.  Php 45000 invested at 9%;  Php 90000 invested at 10% and Php 135000 invested at 11%.

Solved.

Your second question is a part of the first question.

Why you placed your second question separately, is unclear to me . . . it is covered in full by the first question.

The amounts invested at 9%, 10%, and 11% were x, 2x, and 3x, respectively.

So 1/6 of the total was invested at 9%; 2/6 = 1/3 at 10%, and 3/6 = 1/2 at 11%.

The average percent return on the investment was %289%281%29%2B10%282%29%2B11%283%29%29%2F%281%2B2%2B3%29, or 10 1/3%. As a fraction that percentage is %2810%2B1%2F3%29%2F100+=+%2831%2F3%29%2F100+=31%2F300

27,900 return at a rate of 10 1/3% means the amount invested was 27900%2F%2831%2F300%29=27900%28300%2F31%29=%2827900%2F31%29%2A300=900%2A300=270000

ANSWERS:
1/6 of Php270,000 = Php45,000 at 9%
1/3 of Php270,000 = Php90,000 at 10%
1/2 of Php270,000 = Php135,000 at 11%

CHECK:
.09(45000)+.10(90000)+.11(135000)=4050+9000+14850=27900
