The businesses are Paul’s Paper and Tiffany’s Tyres. They offer the following annual interest rates return to encourage your investment;

The amount invested in each company is :

  • Amount invested in PP = $2400
  • Amount invested in TT = $(10000 - 2400) = $7600

Using the simple interest relation:

Simple interest = principal × rate × time

Total amount = 10000

Let :

principal invested in PP = r

HENCE, amount invested in TT = 10000 - r

Total interest earned on both investments = $620

PP investment return + TT investment return = 620

(r × 10% × 1) + (10000 - r × 5% × 1) = 620

0.1r + 500 - 0.05r = 620

0.05r = 620 - 500

0.05r = 120

r = 120 / 0.05

r = 2400

Hence,

Amount invested in PP = $2400

Amount invested in TT = $(10000 - 2400) = $7600
