An investor invested a total of $800 in two mutual funds. One fund earned a 6% profit while the other earned a 2% profit. If the investor's total profit was $28, how much was invested in each mutual fund?
amount invested in 6% mutual fund?
amount invested in 2% mutual fund?
----------------
x = amount at 6%
----
0.06x + 0.02*(800-x) = 28
