    Dale invested in fund B $8,000

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can arrange the given information into the nex equation:

    4000*5% + x*2% = (4000+x) * 3%

    4000*0.05 + 0.02x = 4000*0.03 + 0.03x

    200 + 0.02x = 120 + 0.03x

    200 - 120 = 0.03x - 0.02x

    80 = 0.01x

    x = 80/0.01

    x = 8,000 He invested in fund B.
