investor invested $2200 into 2 mutual funds, 1 earned a 7% profit, the other a 3% profit, total profit was $142, how much was invested into each fund

Answer provided by our tutors

Total amount invested 2200

Let the mutual funds be X &Y

x+y=2200

which can be x=2200-y

1 earned a 7% profit, the other a 3% profit, total profit was $142

7%x+3%y=142

7/100x+3/100y=142

7x+3y=14200

7(2200-y)+3y=14200

15400-7y+3y=14200

4y=1200

Y=300

x=2200-300=1900
