Certificates of deposits =$.13000
Bonds =$.6000

Explanation:

Susan buys bonds worth =$.x
She buys certificates of deposits worth =$.y

Yield from bond =x×7100=7x100
yield from certificates =y×9100=9y100

Then,

x+y=19000 --------(1)
7x100+9y100=1590 Multiplying both sides by 100, we get

7x+9y=159000 -----(2)

Solving equation(1) for x, we get x=19000y

Substitute x=19000y in equation (2), we get

7(19000y)+9y=159000

1330007y+9y=159000

133000+2y=159000

2y=159000133000=26000

y=260002=13000

y=13000

Certificates of deposits =$.13000

Substitute y=13000 in equation (1)

x+13000=19000

x=1900013000=6000

Bonds =$.6000
