Kim invested a total of $1500 in two accounts. One account paid 2% annual interest and the other paid 4% annual interest. After one year, Kim earned $44 in interest. How much did she invest in each account?

2 answers

amount invested in the 2% account --- x
amount invested in the 4% account = 1500-x

solve for x

.02x + .04(1500-x) = 44
-800
