7%. If her total interest after

Let x be the amount invested at 7%; then the amount invested at 11% is 3x.

The interest from the first investment is then .07 times x; the interest from the second is .11 times 3x.

Since the total interest is $2400,

She invested x = $6000 at 7% and 3x = $18000 at 11%.
