x + y = 50,000
0.08x + 0.11y = 4,700
Solve: y = 50,000 - x
0.08x + 0.11(50,000 - x) = 4,700
x = 26,667, y = 23,333

x = -800 / -0.03
x = 26666.67 (approximately)
Now substitute the value of x back into the equation y = 50000 - x to find y:
y = 50000 - 26666.67
y = 23333.33 (approximately)
So, approximately $26,666.67 was invested in the fund earning 8%, and approximately $23,333.33 was invested in the fund earning 11%.
