Answer:
She deposited £10,000 in the 5% yield account and deposited £20,000 in the 8% yield account
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount she put in each account be £x and £y respectively
Total amount deposited is ;
x + y = 30,000 ••••••(i)
Now, let’s look at the earnings:
in the £x , amount earned would be;
5/100 * x = 5x/100
For the £y, amount earned would be;
8/100 * y = 8y/100
Adding both gives the total which is £2,1000
5x/100 + 8y/100 = 2,100
Multiply through by 100
5x + 8y = 210,000 ••••••••(ii)
From the first equation, we know that
x = 30,000 -y
Let’s put this into the second
5(30,000-y) + 8y = 210,000
150,000-5y + 8y = 210,000
3y = 210,000 -150,0000
3y = 60,000
y = 60,000/3
y = £20,000
So mathematically;
x = 30,000-y
x = 30,000 -20,000
x = £10,000
