Dr. D. Jones has a total of $3000 invested in two stocks. Stock A pays dividends at the rate of 6% and Stock B at the rate of 8%. If her dividends from the two stocks total $220 per year, how much did she invest in each stock?
---------------------
Equations:
Quantity:: A + B = 3000 dollars
Interest:: 0.06A + 0.08B = 220
-------
Modify for elimination::
6A + 6B = 6*3000
6a + 8B = 22000
------------
Subtract and solve for "B"::
2B = 4000
B = $2000 (amt. invested at 8%)
----
A = 3000-2000 = $1000 (invested at 6%)
