Mr. snow paid $4,330 for two investments. on one of them, he gained 12%, and on the other he lost 5%. if his net gain was $251, what was the amount of each investment?

$2,750 and $1,580

You would use the information given to create two equations with two variables, each representing one of the investments. Then, you would use substitution to solve for one of the variables, which you would then use to solve for the remaining variable.

The answer to that is 6
