$4,000 invested in fund a returned 5% profit. amount invested in fund b returned a 2% profit. how much was invested in fund b if both funds returned 4%?

as I read it, what I get is that

x = returned profits or yielded interest from investment in A

y = returned profits or yielded interest from investment in B

T = total amount invested or namely  A + B.

4000 were invested in A, and it yielded 5%, what's 5% of 4000? (5/100)(4000) = 200 = x.

we know the total amount is T, since A get 4000, B must have gotten T - 4000, or the slack.  We also know that B yielded a 2% profit, well, what's 2% of T - 4000?  (2/100)(T-4000) = y.

we also know that, whatever "x" and "y" are, their sum total yielded a 4% returns from T, or the total principal, what's 4% of T?  (4/100)T = 0.04T.

step-by-step explanation:

the ten thousandths place is the 2. you round it up if, that number in whatever place is 5 or higher.
