\begin{cases} x + y = 40,000 \ 0.07x + 0.065y = 2,640 \end{cases}

Express

y

in terms of

x

:

y = 40,000 - x

Substitute

y = 40,000 - x

into the second equation:

0.07x + 0.065(40,000 - x) = 2,640

0.07x + 2,600 - 0.065x = 2,640

0.005x = 40

x = \frac{40}{0.005} = 8,000

Substitute the value of

x

back into

y = 40,000 - x

:

y = 40,000 - 8,000 = 32,000

\textbf{Answer:}32000
