Find the amount of each investment if her overall net profit was $2,250 The amount invested at 10% is $__ The amount invested in stock is $__

Question

Susan Marciano invested part of her $22,000 bonus in a fund that paid a 10% profit and invested the rest in?
stock that suffered a 5% loss. Find the amount of each investment if her overall net profit was $2,250  

Answer 1

There is no solution to this problem and here is why. 

 

If she invested her entire bonus in the stock that gained 10% (and therefore had no loss), she would only make a profit of .1(22000)=2200 which is less than the profit that is listed. So either the numbers are wrong or there is no solution.
