    Let us assume $x is deposit at 1.5% interest.

    At the rate 2% deposited amount is twice of the amount deposited at 2%.

    Therefore, at the rate 2% deposited amount = $2x.

    Total interest earned by both different deposited amount at the rate 1.5% and at the rate 2% = $825.

    We can setup an eqation now,

    Interest earned on $x at 1.5% + interest earned on $2 at 2% = $825.

    1.5% of x + 2% of 2x = 825

    Percentage could be written in decimals by dividing by 100.

    Therefore, 1.5% = 1.5 / 100 = 0.015 and 2% = 2/100 = 0.02.

    We could rewrite above equation as,

    0.015*x + 0.02 * 2x = 825

    0.015x + 0.04x = 825

    Adding 0.015x + 0.04x, we get 0.055x.

    So, 0.055x=825.

    Dividing both sides by 0.055.

    0.055x/0.055=825/0.055.

    x = $15000.

    2x = 2 * 15000 = $30000

    Therefore,

    $15000 deposited at 1.5% and $30000 deposited at 2%.
