Suppose x books are produced by both methods.
Total cost for method 1 = 60346 + 10.5x
Total cost for method 2 = 18682 + 21x
Cost of method 1 = Cost of method 2
60346 + 10.5x = 18682 + 21x
60346 - 18682 = 21x - 10.5x
41664 = 10.5x
x = 41664/10.5
x = 3968
For 3968 books produced the cost by both methods will be the same.
I know what is the answer to this problem, I believe, if you cannot do it on your own check out www.answers.yahoo.com or private message me so I can explain
a = amount deposited at 3.5%
b = amount deposited at 4.5%
we know that "b" is twice as much as "a", thus b = 2a.
