Question 1056454
Let {{{ x }}} = amount invested in bonds
{{{ 2000 - x }}} = amount invested in stocks
----------------------------------------
{{{ .08x + .06*( 2000 - x ) = 144 }}}
{{{ .08x + 120 - .06x = 144 }}}
{{{ .02x = 24 }}}
{{{ x = 1200 }}}
and
{{{ 2000 - 1200 = 800 }}}
$1,200 was invested in bonds
$800 was invested in stocks
-------------------------------
check:
{{{ .08x + .06*( 2000 - x ) = 144 }}}
{{{ .08*1200 + .06*800 = 144 }}}
{{{ 96 + 48 = 144 }}}
{{{ 144 = 144 }}}
OK
