Answer 1

Amount Invested at 4% $35,000

Amount Invested at 9% $18,889

Step-by-step explanation:

We know $3,100 is the sum of interest from both investment and Interest is calculated by multiplying the rate of interest to relevant Invested amount.

Let

Amount invest at 4% = $35,000

Amount invested at 9% = Y

According to given condition

( $35,000 x 4% ) + ( Y x 9%) = $3,100

1,400 + 0.09Y = $3,100

0.09Y = $3,100 - $1,400

0.09Y = $1,700

Y = $1,700 / 0.09

Y = $18,889
