Matching

A logistics company manager is dividing $50,000 in surplus funds between a corporate bond (5% annual interest) and a money market account (2.5% annual interest). They use the following system of equations to model the investment, where bb represents the principal in the bond and mm represents the principal in the money market account:

b+m=50,000b + m = 50{,}000 0.05b+0.025m=1,800{}0.05b + 0.025m = 1{,}800

Match each component of the system to its correct financial meaning in this scenario.
