The investor invested a total of $30,000, and his combined return is 7%.
7% of $30,000 = $2100
So, the investor made a total profit of $2100
The $10,000 investment received a return of 6%
6% of $10,000 = $600
$2100 - $600 = $1500
This means the $20,000 investment must have made a profit of $1500
$1500/$20,000 = 15/200 = 7.5/100 = 7.5%
So the investor received a 7.5% return on his $20,000 investment
Answer: B
