Explanation:
The easiest way is to back solve the question.
Take answer B, if that is the amount Jennifer invested in the second apartment; the annual return from that apartment was (120,000 x 0.24 = 28,800).
Therefore there are $180,000 left to invest in the first apartment, 18% of $180,000 is $32,400.
Sum them up; the total return is like the question asked- $61,200.
