Kala invested her savings in two investment funds. The amount she invested in Fund A was twice as much as the amount she invested in Fund B. Fund A returned a
2% profit and Fund B returned a 6% profit. How much did she invest in Fund B, if the total profit from the two funds together was $600?
-----------------------
A investment:: 2x
B investment:: x
-----
Equation:
interest + interest = 600
0.02(2x) + 0.06x = 600
0.04x + 0.06x = 600
0.10x = 600
----
x = $6000
-----
A investment:: 2x = $12000
B investment:: x = $6000
