Let amount invested at 4.3% be F
Then amount invested at 6.3% = 35,000 – F
Since return on investment = 5.7%, then: .043F + .063(35,000 – F) = .057(35,000)
.043F + 2,205 - .063F = 1,995
.043F - .063F = 1,995 - 2,205
- .02F = - 210
F, or amount invested at 4.3% = , or , or $
Amount invested at 6.3% = $35,000 – 10,500, or $
I’ll leave the check up to you!!
