Stuart pays back two student loans over a 4-yr period. One loan charges the equivalent of 3% simple interest and the other charges the equivalent of 5.5% simple interest. If the total amount borrowed was $32,000 and the total amount of interest paid after 4 yr is $4640, find the amount borrowed from each loan.
24,000 at 3%
8,000 at 5.5%
