You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let +x+ = amount invested in 8% profit fund
+2000+-+x+ = amount invested in 4% profit fund
-----------------
+.08x+%2B+.04%2A%28+2000+-+x+%29+=+92+
+.08x+%2B+80+-+.04x+=+92+
+.04x+=+12+
+x+=+300+
+2000+-+300+=+1700+
$300 was invested in 8% profit fund
$1700 was invested in 4% profit fund
------------
check:
+.08%2A300+%2B+.04%2A1700+=+92+
+24+%2B+68+=+92+
+92+=+92+
OK
