Answer 6

Jim invested his savings in two investment funds. The amount he invested in Fund A was 4 times as much as the amount he invested in Fund B. Fund A returned a 3% profit and Fund B returned a 4% profit. How much did he invest in Fund B, if the total profit from the two funds together was $1120?

Answer 7

\(\bf {\color{red}{ a}}\%\ of \ b=\cfrac{{\color{red}{ a}}}{100}\times b\implies (0.0a)b\)

thus 3% of A will be 0.03A
and 4% of B will be 0.04B

"A was 4 times as much as the amount he invested in Fund B"

so whatever B was, A was 4*B or 4B, thus A = 4B

the total profit those 2 funds made was $1120

so one can say that \(\bf 0.03A+0.04B=1120\qquad {\color{blue}{ A=4B}}\qquad thus
\\ \quad \\
0.03{\color{blue}{ A}}+0.04B=112\implies 0.03({\color{blue}{4B}})+0.04B=1120\)

solve for B
