Assuming simple interest (i.e. no compounding within first year), then
At 6%, interest = 10000*0.06=$600
At 9% interest = 10000*0.09 = $900

Two ways to find the ratio
method A. let x=proportion at 6%
then
600x+900(1-x)=684
Expand and solve
300x=900-684=216
x=216/300=0.72 or 72%
So 10000*0.72=7200 were invested at 6%
10000-7200=2800 were invested at 9%

method B: by proportions
Ratio of investments at 6% and 9%
= 900-684 : 684-600
=216 : 84
= 18 : 7
Amount invested at 6% = 18/(18+7) * 10000 = 0.72*10000 = 7200
Amount invested at 8% = 7/(18+7)*10000=0.28*10000=2800

First you need to find the percent equivalent to that of the ratio. The ratio is 3:5. From there you would take the 3, and divide it by 5. 3/5=0.6. Apply that to the information that you are given: 8(0.6)=4.8.
