Hector invested a total of $6,000. Part of the money was invested in a money market account that paid 9% simple annual interest, and the remainder of the money was invested in a fund that paid 7% simple annual interest. If the interest earned at the end of the first year from these investments was $490, how much did Hector invest at 9%?

A. $2,000
B. $2,500
C. $3,000
D. $3,500
E. $4,000



9x/100 + (6000-x)*7/100 = 490

9x + (6000-x)7 = 49000

9x -7x + 42000 = 49000

2x = 7000

x = 3500

Answer D
