Answer:

total interest earned = $230

percent interest for the total deposited = 5.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Account 1 : deposited = $1,000 with interest 2%/year

Account 2 : deposited = $3,000 with interest 7%/year

Interest account 1 = 2% x $1,000 = $20

Interest account 2 = 7% x $3,000 = $210

Total interest earned = 20 + 210 = $230

Total interest earned = Percent interest x Total deposited

230 = Percent interest x (1,000+3,000)

230 = Percent interest x 4,000

230 : 4000 = Percent interest

Percent interest = 230 : 4000 = 0.0575 = 5.75%
