Problema Solution

A total of $11,000 was invested. Part of the $11,000 was invested at 4%, and the rest was invested at 7%. If the investments earn $680 per year, how much was invested at each rate?

Answer provided by our tutors

0.04x + 0.07(11000-x) = 680

0.04x + 0.07(11000) - 0.07x = 680

find x 

x = 3000

at 4%, 3000 dollars was invested

at 7%, 8000 dollars was invested
