Shelby inherited $1,000,000. He invested part of the money in a thoroughbred horse-breeding farm and the rest in a Southern plantation. If Shelby earns 12% on the farm and 2% on the plantation, for a combined profit of $50,000, how much did he invest in the farm?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6000

How do I do the problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You take the profit: $50,000 times the 12% he earns on the farm.

That's all?

Yeah. It asks for how much he invested in the farm
