    a) $ 5000, $ 10000 b) $ 5000

    Explanation:

    The royalties money = $18750

    She set aside 20% for new home which = 0.2 * 18750 = $ 3750

    Amount remaining = 18750 - 3750 = $15000

    She invested a sum in a bank certificate of deposit

    let the amount invested in bank certificate = y

    profit from the investment in the bank = 0.04y

    second investment amount = 15000 - y

    profit of investment = 0.07 (15000 - y)

    sum of the two profit = 0.04y + 0.07 (15000 - y) = total profit = $ 900

    0.04y + 0.07 (15000 - y) = 900

    open the bracket and rearrange the equation

    0.04y + 1050 - 0.07y = 900

    0.04y - 0.07y = 900 - 1050

    -0.03y = - 150

    divide both side by - 0.03

    y = - 150 / - 0.03 = $ 5000

    The amount of money invest at 4% is $5000

    The amount of money invested at 7% = 15000 - 5000 = $10000

    The amount of money invested in CD account = $ 5000
