You can put this solution on YOUR website! You separated your P500,000 into two accounts. The first account has 5% interest rate while the second account has 10%. The annual interest of the first account is P22,440 less than the annual interest of second account. How much was invested at the 10% account.
-------------
Quantity Eq::::: x + y = 500,000
Interest Eq:::::0.05x = 0.10y - 22440
---------------------------------------
5x + 5y = 5*500000
5x - 10y = -2244000
-------------------------
Subtract 2nd from 1st to get:
15y = 5*500000+2244000
y = 316,266.67 (amt. invested at 10%)
================================
