A investor invest a total of $2000 in two mutual funds. One earned a profit of 4% while the other earned 2%. His total profit was 56$ How much money did he put in each one?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Equation: x + y = 2000
\n" ); document.write( "Interest Equation: 4x +2y = 5600
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify:
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 2y = 4000
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 2y = 5600
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 1600
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "x = $800 (amt. invested at 4%)
\n" ); document.write( "y = $1200 (amt. invested at 2%)
