Let x be the amount of money, you fund in Fund A and y be the amount of mone yyou fund in Fund B.

1. You have 250,000 In an IRA at the time you retire and want to invest this money into Funds A and B, then

x+y=250,000.

2. Fund A pays 1.2% (as a decimal 1.2% is 0.012) annually, then x\cdot 0.012=0.012x is annual interest income in Fund A.

Fund B pays 6.2% (as a decimal 6.2% is 0.062) annually, then y\cdot 0.062=0.062y is annual interest income in Fund B.

Since Fund A and Fund B produce an annual interest income of $8,000, then

0.012x+0.062y=8,000.

3. Solve the system of equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+y=250,000\\0.012x+0.062y=8,000.\end{array}\right.

Express x from first equation x=250,000-y and substitute it into the second equation

0.012(250,000-y)+0.062y=8,000.

Multiply this equation by 1000:

12(250,000-y)+62y=8000,000,\\ \\3000,000-12y+62y=8000,000,\\ \\62y-12y=8000,000-3000,000,\\ \\50y=5000,000,\\ \\y=100,000

Then

x=250,000-100,000=150,000.

Answer: you have to fund $150,000 in Fund A and $100,000 in Fund B.
