Suppose you have $5000 to invest. a certificate of deposit (cd) earns 6% annual interest, while bonds, which are more risky, earn 8% annual interest. you decide to invest $2000 in a cd and the rest in bonds. how much interest will you have earned at the end of one year?

If you have $5000 and you invest $2000 in a certificate of deposit, you have $3000 invested in the bonds. Each earns an annual interest of 6% and 8%, respectively. The total interest is shown below,
                            ($2000) x 0.06 + ($3000) x 0.08 = $360
Thus, the amount of the total interest is $360.

Sometimes life is like a tunnel. you can’t always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you keep moving, you will come to a better place
