Problema Solution

an investor invested a total of 3,200 dollars in two mutual funds. One fund earned 5% profit while the other earned 2% profit. If the investors total profit was 118 dollars, how much was invested in each mutual fund?

Answer provided by our tutors

let investment at 5% be $x

5% of x+ 2% of (3200-x) = 118

5x + 6400-2x = 11800

3x = 5400

x = 1800

investment at 5% and 2% are $1800 & 1400 respectively
