Fund A returned a 5% 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 $1350?

Fund A:
Principal = p - 6000
Rate = 0.05
Interest = 0.05(p - 6000) = 0.05p - 300

Fund B:
Principal = p
Rate = 0.06
Interest = 0.06p

(0.05p - 300) + (0.06p) = 1350

0.11p - 300 = 1350

0.11p = 1650

p = 15000

Fund B:
Principal = p = $15,000
