Answer:

£5650

Explanation:

The money max invested in the saving bond = x

After one year the intrest will be 2% of x

Amount = £5763

Amount = Principcal + Interest

= £5763 = x + 2% multiplied x

£5763 = x + 2x/100

= 50x/50 + x/50 = 5763

= 51x/50 = £5763

51x = 5763x50

51x = 288, 150

x = 288,150/51

x = 5650

So the money max invested = £5650
