You can put this solution on YOUR website! Part I 4.00% per annum ------------- Amount invested =x
Part II 9.00% per annum ------------ Amount invested = y
8000
Interest----- 570.00
Part I 4.00% per annum ---x
Part II 9.00% per annum ---y
Total investment
x + 1 y= 8000 -------------1
Interest on both investments
4.00% x + 9.00% y= 570
Multiply by 100
4 x + 9 y= 57000.00 --------2
Multiply (1) by -4
we get
-4 x -4 y= -32000.00
Add this to (2)
0 x 5 y= 25000
divide by 5
y = 5000
Part I 4.00% $ 3000
Part II 9.00% $ 5000
