To find the amounts invested in each bond, we can set up a system of equations. Solve the system of equations to find the values of x and y. Therefore, $16,000 is invested in the 4% bond and $30,000 is invested in the 9.5% bond. ;

The amounts invested in the bonds are $16,000 in the 4% bond and $30,000 in the 9.5% bond. This was determined by setting up and solving a system of equations based on the total investment and total interest earned. The equations were solved step-by-step to find the individual investments in each bond.
