an investor invested a total of $1400 in 2 mutual funds. one fund earned a 6% profit and the other fund earned a 3% profit. If the investors total profit was $60, how much was invested in each mutual fund
**
let x=$amt invested in 6% fund
1400-x=$amt invested in 3% fund
.06x+.03(1400-x)=60
.06x+42-.03x=60
.03x=18
x=600
1400-x=800
$amt invested in 6% fund=600
$amt invested in 3% fund=800
