Question 336048: Sara made $50000 off a real estate deal. She gave $20000 to charity. She invested part of the remainder in a fund with an annual yield of 16% and the rest in a growth fund with a yield of 25%. If she made $6060 on these investments in one year, how much did she invest in each fund?

.16x+.25(30000-x)=6060
.16x+7500-.25x=6060
-.09x=-1440
x=16000 at 16%
30000-16000=14000 at 25%
