MakcuM [25]

Answer:

This question requires a comparison between two different variables 6% and 16% values.  If we let x=$ loaned on 6% loans and y=$ loaned on 16% loans, then we can relate two equations.

0.06x + 0.16y = $1500  --> referencing the interest earned from each percentage loaned.

Rearrange either equation and substitute for a value in the other equation or use elimination to determine each individual variable.
