Two investments produce a total annual interest income of $95. If $4000 was invested at 2% and 3%, how much was invested at 3%?
--------
Interest Eq:: 2x + 3y = 9500
Quantity Eq:: x + y = 4000
-------
Modify for elimination:
2x + 3y = 9500
2x + 2y = 8000
---------
Subtract and solve for "y":
y = $1500 (amt. invested at 3%)
