Question 1004029
He has invested x money at 9%. And, he has invested  the rest, meaning 8,900-x at 6%. In equation form:
.09x+.06(8,900-x)= 654 Now just do the math:
.09x+524-.06x= 654
.03x= 120
x= 4,000 This is how much he invested at 9%. And:
8,900-4,000= 4,900 is how much he invested at 6%.
Proof:
4,000*.09= 360
4,900*.06= 294
