A person plans to invest a total of $210,000 in a money market account, a bond fund, an international stock fund, and a domestic stock fund. She wants 60% of her investment to be conservative (money market and bonds). She wants the amount in domestic stocks to be 4 times the amount in international stocks. Finally, she needs an annual return of $8,400. Assuming she gets annual returns of 2.5% on the money market account, 3.5% on the bond fund, 4% on the international stock fund, and 6% on the domestic stock fund, how much should she put in each investment?

Gary and Ginger decide to place $\$ 10,000$ of their savings into investments. They put some in a money market account earning $3 \%$ interest, some in a mutual fund that has been averaging $7 \%$ a year, and some in a stock that rose $10 \%$ last year. If they put $\$ 3000$ more in the money market than in the mutual fund and the mutual fund and stocks have the same growth in the next year as they did in the previous year, they will earn $\$ 540$ in a year. How much money did they put in each of the three investments?
