Liu · Answer 1

Total investment = 12,000

Let x be invested in Stock at a return of 14%

The rest (12,000-x) invested at a loss of 6%

0.14*x - 0.06 * (12,000-x) = 680

0.14x - 720 + 0.06x = 680

0.2x = 1400

x = 7000

So $7,000 was invested at a rate of 6% and $5,000 (12000-7000) was invested at a loss of 6%
