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

680  =   x * 1 * 4/ 100  +  (11000-x)*1*7/ 100 

68000 =   4x -7x + 77000

3x = 9000

x = 3000

and 8000
