Harris invested $45,000 in two different ventures, a car-cleaning machine and a video mat. The yearly return on the video mat was 12% and the yearly return on the car-cleaning machine was 8%. If the total return was $4,000, how much did Harris invest in the video mat?

A. $8,000.
B. $10,000.
C. $14,000.
D. $22,000.
E. $35,000.

We can create the equations:

V + C = 45,000

C = 45,000 - V

and

0.12V + 0.08C = 4000

Substituting, we have:

0.12V + 0.08(45,000 - V) = 4000

0.12V + 3,600 - 0.08V = 4000

0.04V = 400

V = 10,000

Answer: B
