Question 202761: I'm having trouble with this problem and I need a little help with it:
Investing $1000 in two investments yielding you a one-year return of $75. If one of the investments was a bond fund with a guranteed 4% rate of return, and you invested an equal amount in both, what was the rate of return in the second investment?
Here are the answers I have to choose from:
11%
10.5%
3.5%
12%

--------------------------
Equation:
interest + interest = interest
0.04(500) + r(500) = 75
20 + 500r = 75
500r = 55
r = 55/500
r = 0.11
The rate you want is 11%
