Investment Allocation

Question
Mike invested $2000 in bonds and certificate of deposits. the bonds paid 5% and the CD's paid 4.5% if his total interest earned was $93.75 for the year, how much did he invest in each type?




Solution
Let x = investment in bonds
2000-x = investment in certificate of deposits

Therefore, .05x + .045(2000-x) = 93.75

Hence, x = $750

Therefore, Mike needs to invest $750 in bonds and $1,250 in certificate of deposits.
