Problema Solution

Manuel invested his savings in two investment funds. The $2000 that he invested in Fund A returned a 3% profit. The amount that he invested in Fund B returned a 10% profit. How much did he invest in Fund B, if both funds together returned a 8% profit?

Answer provided by our tutors

Fund A: $2000

Fund B: x

So the equation is

$2000*3% + x*10% = (x+2000)*8%

So

x = 5000

So

he invest $5000 in Fund B
