Question
100%
You have $90,000 for investment. You will invest S dollars in stocks and B dollars in bonds. You expect a 10% return on stocks and a 2% return on bonds. You want a total return of 5% on your investment.
 
(a) The dollar amount of the total return is 
0.05 ✕ 90,000 = $4500. What is the dollar amount of return for stocks, and what is the dollar amount for bonds? (Suggestion: Your answers will involve the variables S and B.)
stocks dollars
bonds dollars
(b)
Write a system of two equations in two unknowns that determines how much will be invested in each category. (Suggestion: One equation should show the total amount invested. The second equation should show the total dollar return.)
 
S + B  =  4500
.10S + .02B  =  90,000
 
 
S + B  =  4500
.02S − .10B  =  90,000
 
    
 
S + B  =  90,000
.10S + .02B  =  4500
 
 
S + B  =  90,000
.10S − .02B  =  4500
 
 
S + B  =  4500
.02S + .10B  =  90,000
 
(c)
 
Solve the system from part (b) to find the amount invested in stocks and the amount invested in bonds.
