Here is the question:  One year ago you invested $4300 into three accounts that earn 3.25%, 4%, and 5.75% annual interest.  The interest you earned after one year is $193.  You remembered you invested three times as much in the 4% account than you did the 3.25% account. How much did you invest in each type of account?   This is what i have so far, I dont think its right.<BR>\n" );
