Answer:

Amount on 11% note = $106,666.67

Amount on 8% note = $43,333.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount for the ​short-term note at ​11% interest be x.

Thus, the amount for the ​short-term note at ​8% interest will be (150000 - x)

Now we are told that the total interest paid is $15,200.

Thus;

0.11x + 0.08(150000 - x) = 15200

0.11x + 12000 - 0.08x = 15200

Rearranging gives;

0.03x = 15200 - 12000

0.03x = 3200

x = 3200/0.03

x = $106666.67

Thus, amount for 8% note = $150000 - $106666.67 = $43,333.33
