She invests a portion of the money in a bank certificate of deposit (CD account) that earns 4% and the remainder in a savings bond that earns 7%. if the total interest earned after one year is $480.00, how much money was invested at each rate?
How much money was invested in the CD account?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
total invested = 10000*0.80 = 8000
---
x = amount invested at 4%
y = amount invested at 7%
---
x + y = 8000
0.04x + 0.07y = 480
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 8000
0.04x + 0.07y = 480
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
