An investor invested a total of $2200 in two mutual funds. One fund earned 5% profit while the other earned a 2% profit. If the investor's total profit was $68, how much was invested in each mutual fund?
----------------
Quantity Equation: x + y = 2200
Interest Equation:5x +2y = 6800
-----------------------------------
Modify for elimination:
2x + 2y = 4400
5x + 2y = 6800
----
Subtract and solve for "x":
3x = 2400
x = $800 (amt. invested at 2%)
----
Solve for "y":
x + y = 2200
800 + y = 2200
y = $1400 (amt. invested at 5%
