The 1st acct a balance of 100,000 earns an annual percent yield of (APY) 3.25% (0.0325). The 2nd acct a balance of 100,000 earns 3.0% (APY). The 3rd acct a balance of 300,000 earns 3.3% (APY). They all have a 10yr maturity date. How would I determine what percent I could multiply the whole balance total of all 3 accts (500,000) to find my yearly earnings (?) without having to do all 3 separate and add them up.

Since the 3.3% is for three times as much money as the others, "weight" the average: (3.25+ 3+ 3(3.3))/(1+ 1+ 3)=16.15/5 = 3.23. Then Find 3.23% of $500,000: 0.0323(500,000)=$16150. However, that is exactly the same work as finding 3.25% of $100,000=$3250, 3% of $100,00=$3000, 3.3% of 300,000= $9900.$3250+ $3000+$9900= \$16150.
