Question 934187
<pre>
Let x = amount invested at 5%
    y = amount invested at 7%

A businessman invests total of $200,000 in two companies which paid dividends of 5% and 7% respectively.
x+y=200000

If he received a total of $11,600
.05x.07y=11600
   x+  y=200000

-.07x-.07y=-14000
 .05x+.07y= 11600
------------------
     -.02x=-2400
         x=120000
         y= 80000

<b>At the interest rate 7%, he only invested $80,0000.</b>
