An investment firm recommends that a client invest in bonds rated AAA, A, and B. The average yield on AAA bonds is 5%, on A bonds 7%, and on B bonds 12%.

Set

x = AAA
y = A
z = B

Set up your equations:

\(0.05 x + 0.07 y + 0.12 z = 1590\)
\(x -2 y = 0\)
\(x + y + z = 22000\)

Now solve however you like

x = 11052.631
y = 5526.315
z = 5421.052

Round as you wish.
