multiplication because following the bodmas, it is supposed to be division, multiplication followed by addition and subtraction
I will be glad to help you in the comments. I do need to know though, what is the class this is presented in? Is this algebra, or calculus? Depending on the class, we have different approaches.
Let
x ----> amount deposited at 4.5%
y ----> amount deposited at 5%
we have that
y=2x----> equation A
4.5%=0.045
5%=0.05
so
0.045x+0.05y=1,595 ----> equation B
solve the system
substitute equation A in equation B
0.045(x)+0.05(2x)=1,595
solve for x
0.045x+0.10x=1,595
0.145x=1,595
x=11,000
Find y
y=2(11,000)=22,000
<h2>The amount deposited at 4.5% was $11,000 and the amount deposited at 5% was $22,000</h2>
