less than that amount in a second account paying 4%. The two accounts produced a total of 141 interest in 1 yr. How much did he invest?|||total interest is the amount earned on both accounts = i
i1 is amount earned on account 1, i2 on account 2.
i = i1 + i2
i1 = 5% of $1200, or .05 * 1200 = 60
i2 = 141 - 60 = 81
81 = 4% of x or .04 * x
81/.04 = x
2025 = x
total investment = 2025 + 1200
