Answer:

  • A: 10,000
  • B: 18,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent the amount invested in fund A, Then A+8000 is the amount invested in fund B, and the total return is ...

  0.05A +0.07(A+8000) = 1760

  0.12A +560 = 1760

  0.12A = 1200

  A = 10000

Deon invested 10,000 in fund A and 18,000 in fund B.
