Answer:
5000 ;
11125
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Total principal = 16125
Rates = 8.5% and 4%
Period, t = 2 years
Total interest = 1740
Let :
Principal amount invested at 8.5% = x
Principal amount invested at 4% = 16125 - x
Interest formula :
Interest = principal * rate * time
Hence, mathematically ;
(x * 8.5% * 2) + [(16125 - x) * 4% * 2] = 1740
(0.17x + 1290 - 0.08x ) = 1740
0.09x + 1290 = 1740
0.09x = 1740 - 1290
0.09x = 450
x = 450 / 0.09
x = 5000
Amount invested at 4% :
16125 - 5000 = 11125
