Answer:

$20,000 and $10,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

For simple interest we have the relation.

I = PRT/100  where I = interest, P = amount invested, R = rate of interest, T = the time.

If you invest x dollars in one fund you invested 30,000 - x in the other fund.

So we have the equations

x*8.5 * 1 / 100  +   (30000 - x)* 10 * 1 / 100 = 2700

8.5x + 300000 - 10x = 270,000

1.5x = 30000

x =  30,000 / 1.5

= $20,000 (answer).
