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.
