An investor invested a total of 2,200 in two mutual funds. One fund earned 8 percent profit, while the other earned 4 percent profit. If the investors total profit was $124, how much was invested in each mutual fund?
-----
Equations:
Quantity: x + y = 2200
Interest:8x +4y = 12400
-----------------------------
4x + 4y = 8800
8x + 4y = 12400
-------------------------
4x = 3600
x = $900.00 (amt. invested at 8%)
----
Solve for "y":
x + y = 2200
y = $1300 (amt. invested at 4%)
