Question 60023
Let jessie invest x$ in stocks.
Then amount invested in bonds = (x+2000)$

Interest from stocks = x(0.072)$
Interest from bonds = (x+2000)(0.06)

AS the income from both the investments are the same,
x(0.072) = (x+2000)(0.06)
==> 0.072x = 0.06x + 2000*(0.06)
==> 0.072x = 0.06x + 120
==> 0.072x - 0.06x = 120
==> 0.012x = 120
==> 0.012x/0.012 = 120/0.012
==> x = 10000$

So the investment in stocks = 10,000 $
Interest from this = 10,000(0.072)
                   = $720
As the other interest is also $720,
Total interest she received = $720 + $720
                            = $1440



Good Luck!!!
