Sung invested his savings in two investment funds. The amount he invested in Fund A was 4 times as much as the amount he invested in Fund B. Fund A returned a 2% profit and Fund B returned a 4% profit. How much did he invest in Fund A, if the total profit from the two funds together was $1440?
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "Let amt. invested in B = \"x\".
\n" ); document.write( "The amt. invested in A = \"4x\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "interest + interest = interest
\n" ); document.write( "0.02(4x) + 0.04(x) = 1440
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2(4x) + 4(x) = 144000
\n" ); document.write( "12x = 144000
\n" ); document.write( "x = $12,000 (amt invested in B)
\n" ); document.write( "4x = $48,000 (amt. invested in A)
\n" ); document.write( "=================================
