Hi,

An investor invested a total of 1500 in two mutual funds. 

One fundhighlight%28x%29 earned 7% profit while the otherhighlight%281500-x%29 earned 2% profit. 

total profit was $95

Question states***

  .07x + .02(1500-x) = $95

      .05x = 95 - 30

      .05x = 65

         x = 65/.05 = $1300, invested at 7%.    $200 invested at 2%

and****

 .07%2A1300+%2B+.02%2A200+=+%2495
