Answer:

Money invested in Canada saving bond is $6000.

Money invested in provincial government bond is $9000.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let us have a look at the formula for simple interest:

[tex]SI = \dfrac{P\times R\times T}{100}[/tex]

Where P is the amount invested

R is the rate of interest and

T is the time

We are given here, 2 bonds in which a total of $15000 were invested

Let money invested in Canada saving bond  [tex]P_1[/tex], = $x

Rate of interest, [tex]R_1=4\%[/tex]

Time, [tex]T_1 = 1\ year[/tex]

[tex]SI_1 = \dfrac{P_1\times R_1\times T_1}{100}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x\times 4\times 1}{100} ..... (1)[/tex]

Let money invested in provincial government bond [tex]P_2[/tex], = $(15000-x)

Rate of interest, [tex]R_2=5\%[/tex]

Time, [tex]T_2 = 1\ year[/tex]

[tex]SI_2 = \dfrac{P_2\times R_2\times T_2}{100}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{(15000-x)\times 5\times 1}{100} ..... (2)[/tex]

We are given that

[tex]SI_1+SI_2=$690\\\text{Using equations (1) and (2):}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4x}{100} + \dfrac{(15000-x)\times 5}{100} = 690\\\Rightarrow 4x + (75000-5x) = 69000\\\Rightarrow x = \$6000[/tex]

Money invested in Canada saving bond = $6000

Money invested in provincial government bond = $15000-$6000 = $9000
