Best Answer

Take a breath, and start thinking of things in mathematical terms

  • The amount invested in the CD is unknown, so we can call it X.
  • The amount invested in the Savings Bond (SB) is the remainder, so we can call it (5000 - X).
  • The interest on the CD for one year is 0.04 times X or 0.04X.
  • The interest on the SB for one year is 0.07 times (5000 - X) or 0.07(5000 - X).
  • You know the total interest from both for the year is 300, so you now can make an equation:

0.04X + 0.07(5000 - X) = 300

All you need to do is expand the expression and move the variable to one side of the equation and solve for X.
