Answer:

She invested $30,000 at 9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount invested per percentage be $x and $y respectively

Total investment is 40,000

This means that;

x + y = 40,000 ••••••••••(i)

Now for her income;

9/100 * x = 9x/100

for the 12% = 12/100 * y = 12y/100

Now;

9x/100 + 12y/100 = 3,900

9x + 12y = 390000 •••••••••(ii)

we solve both simultaneously

From i, y = 40,000-x

Substitute this into ii

9x + 12(40,000-x) = 390,000

9x + 480,000-12x = 390,000

3x = 480,000-390,0000

3x = 90,000

x = 90,000/3

x = $30,000

x = total amount of gumballs

let's start subtracting the balls she's giving away

\stackrel{total}{x}-\stackrel{\textit{to jaysen}}{\cfrac{x}{2}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{what's left}}{\cfrac{x}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{half of what's left to Marinda}}{\cfrac{~~ \frac{x}{2}~~}{2}\implies \cfrac{x}{4}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{what was left minus Marinda's}}{\cfrac{x}{2}-\cfrac{x}{4}\implies \stackrel{\textit{what's left}}{\cfrac{x}{4}}}~\hfill ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{a third of what's left to Zack}}{\cfrac{~~ \frac{x}{4}~~}{3}\implies \cfrac{x}{12}}

\stackrel{\textit{what was left minus Zack's}}{\cfrac{x}{4}-\cfrac{x}{12}\implies \stackrel{\textit{what's left}}{\cfrac{x}{6}}}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{her sister gets 5 balls of what's left}}{ \cfrac{x}{6}-5 }

and we also know that after all that has been subtracted, she's only left with 5, so we can say that

\stackrel{\textit{what's finally left}}{\cfrac{x}{6}-5}~~ = ~~\stackrel{\textit{what's finally left}}{5}\implies \cfrac{x}{6}=10\implies \boxed{x = 60}
