Answer:

  • $14,747 at 9%
  • $12,129 at 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested at 9%. Then the difference in interest amounts is ...

  (9%)x -(5%)(26876 -x) = 720.78 . . . . . assuming a 1-year investment

  0.14x -1343.80 = 720.78 . . . . . . . . . simplify

  0.14x = 2064.58 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 1343.80

  x = 14,747 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.14

$14,747 is invested at 9%; $12,129 is invested at 5%.
