You can put this solution on YOUR website! A man invested $5000 in two mutual funds. Last year one of the funds went up by 6%, and the other fund went down by 6%. If his portfolio increased in value by $60 last year, how much did he invest in the fund that earned a 6% profit?
***
let x=amt invested in fund that went up by 6%
5000-x=amt invested in fund that went down by 6%
6%x-6%(5000-x)=60
.06x-300+.06x=60
.12x=360
x=3000
how much did he invest in the fund that earned a 6% profit? $3000
