A portion of $6600 is invested at a 5% annual return, while the remainder is invested at a 3% annual return. If the annual income from the portion earning a 5% return is twice that of the other portion, what is the total income from the two investments after one year? (A)$180
(B) $270 (C)$300
(D) $320 (E)$360

(I do not have the official answer)

B) 270
Let X be the portion invested at 5%
Let (6600 - X) the portion invested at 3%
.05X / .03 * [6600 - X] = 2/1
.05X = .06 * [6600-X]
.05X = 396 - .06X
.11X = 396
X = 3600$6600 - X = 3000$
3600 * .05 + 3000 * .03 = 180 + 90 = 270
