Answer:

A) What is the investment firms total profit.

B) What is the percent profit of the total investment

A) What is the investment firms total profit?

0.11*8000 + 0.13*24000  

880 + 3120 = $3120

The investment firms total profit is $3120

B) What is the percent profit of the total investment?

The total investment is: $8,000 + $24,000 = $32,000

The percent profit of the total investment is:

3,120/32,000 = 0.0975 or 9.75%
