A money lender lent a total of $1500 to two of his customers. He charged at the rate of 5%p.a. to one of them and 6% p.a. to the other. If he earned an average of 5.67% on $1500, how much did he lend to each of the two customers?
Answers.
A) 700; 1100 B) 1005; 495 C) 1000; 800 D) 1200; 800 E) None of the above
The method given above is the one given in the book.   However the method I used was   (1*x*5)/100 + (1500-x)*6/100 = 1500*5.67/100   Simplifying we get x=495   1005; 495
