    The traditional way:

    Let x=amount invested at 2%, then (4200-x) = amount invested at 3%

    We're given

    0.02x+0.03 (4200-x) = 102

    Solve for x:

    0.03x-0.02x=126-102

    0.01x=24 = > x=2400

    Hence 2400 invested at 2% and 1800 invested at 3%

    Alternative:

    4200 at 2%=84 4200 at 3%=126

    Amt at 3%:Amt at 2%=102-84:126:102=18:24 = (18/42) * 4200: (24/42) * 4200=1800:2400
