an investor invested a total amount of $3,100 in two mutual funds. One fund earned a 5% profit while the other earned a 3% profit. If the investors total profit was $115, how much was invested in each mutual fund?
--------
Equations:
value: x + y = 3100
interest: 0.05x + 0.03y = 115
----
5x + 5y = 5*3100
5x + 3y = 115*100
------
Subtract and solve for "y":
2y = 4000
y = 2000 (amt invested at 3%
---
x = 1100 (amt invested at 5%
