    Amount invested in;

    2% rate x = $2000

    4% rate (2x+1000) = $5000

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the amount invested in 2% rate;

    The amount invested in 4% rate = 2x + 1000

    Given;

    Annual interest = $240

    Annual interest for 2% rate;

    0.02 * x = 0.02x

    Annual interest for 4% rate;

    0.04 * (2x+1000) = 0.08x + 40

    Total annual interest is;

    0.02x + 0.08x + 40 = 0.10x + 40

    Equating to the given value;

    0.10x + 40 = 240

    0.10x = 240-40 = 200

    x = 200:0.10

    x = $2000

    And

    2x + 1000 = 2 (2000) + 1000 = $5000

    Amount invested in;

    2% rate x = $2000

    4% rate (2x+1000) = $5000
