You can  put this solution on YOUR website! A man divides $10,000 among three investments at 4%, 5% and 6% per annum respectively. His total income is $515 per year. His income from the 5% and 6% investments exceeds the income at 4% by $415. Find how much is invested at each rate. 
.. 
let him invest $x at 4 % 
income from 4% = 0.04x 
... 
investment at5%&6% = 10,000-x 
.. 
income from 5%&6% = 0.04x+415 
... 
0.04x+415 = 515 
0.04x=100 
x=100/0.04 
x= 10000/4 
x= 2500 
Balance investment = $7500 @ 5%&6% 
income = 415 
5/11*415 = 188.63 interest from 5% 
amount invested = $3772.72  
6/11 * 415= 226.36 interest from 6% 
Amount invested = $3772.6
 
C H E C K 
2500*0.04 + 3772*0.05 +3772*0.06= 515
