    "8.8%"

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x be the interest rate for the 20,000 and y for the 4,000

    The problem says:

    x20,000 = y4,000+1320 (1)

    and

    x = y+0.006 Substitute this value for x on equation (1)

    (y+0.006) 20,000 = y4,000+1320

    20,000y+120 = y4,000+1320

    16,000y = 1320

    y = 0.0825 So the 4,000 are invested at 8.25%

    And since x = y+0.006:

    x =.0825+0.006 = 0.0885 or 8.8%. The 20,000 are invested at 8.8%
