    X = 32

    Y = 96

    Explanation:

    Z = 5%

    Z = (0.04X + 0.08Y) / (X + Y)

    we can substitute Z:

    0.05 = (0.04X + 0.08Y) / (X + Y)

    0.05 (X + Y) = 0.04X + 0.08Y

    0.05X + 0.05Y = 0.04X + 0.08Y

    0.01X = 0.03Y

    X = 0.03Y / 0.01 = 3Y

    This means that we must choose one value for Y that divided by 3 equals another option:

    the only possibility that fits the equation is:

    X = 32 Y = 96
