Liam invested some money in the abernathy fund at 7% simple interest and twice as much at twice the rate in the carlson fund . if the simple interesr income from the two funds totaled 1406.30 then how much was invested in each fund ?

Answer provided by our tutors

Let the amount in Abernathy Fund be 100y


In Carlson Fund = 200y


Interest earned in AF = 100y x 7/100 x 1 = 7y


Interest earned in CF = 200y X 14/100 x 1 = 28y


Total = 35x = 1406.30

x = 1406.30 /35 = 40.18


So amount invested in AF = 4018$ and CF = 8036 $
