    The total amount invested at 5% is $123,000

    The total amount invested at 6% is $390,000

    Explanation:

    M = amount of money invested at 5%

    3M + 21,000 = amount of money invested at 6%

    0.05M + 0.06 (3M + 21,000) = 29,550

    0.05M + 0.18M + 1,260 = 29,550

    0.23M = 28,290

    M = 28,290 / 0.23 = 123,000

    3M + 21,000 = 369,000 + 21,000 = 390,000
