Question 1052274: An inheritance of $15,000 is invested in two accounts. Part is invested in stocks which pay 5% simple interest and the rest is invested in bonds which pay 4% simple interest. The annual interest is $690. Find the amount invested in each account.

Let n be the amount invested at 5%. Then:
.05n+.04(15000-n)=690
.01n+600=690
.01n=90
n=9000
$9000 was invested at 5%; $6000 was invested at 4%. ☺☺☺☺
