Each month Sheila's credit card accumulates 1.5% interest,
her car loan 1% interest, and her mortgage 0.8% interest.
After one month her total accumulated interest is $975.
The interest on Sheila's mortgage was $700 more than the interest on her car loan.

Find the amount of each of these three debits.
X = mortgage
Y = car loan
Z = credit card
X + Y + Z = 115 000
X = Y + 700
0.008 X + 0.01 Y + 0.015 Z = 975
2Y + Z = 114 300
8X + 10Y + 15Z = 975 000
18Y + 15Z = 969 400
18Y + 9Z = 1 028 700
6Z = -59 300
Z = -9883.33
X = 62 791.7, Y = 62 091.7, Z = -9883.33
It is doubtful if the problem is correct.

This is algebra not personal finance.
DO the equations.
X=mortgage
Y=car loan
Z=credit card
X+Y+Z=115000
X=Y+700
X(0.008)+Y(.01)+Z(.015)=975
You can solve the equations yourself.
