\n" ); document.write( "Let \"x\"= invt. in stocks
\n" ); document.write( "So, \"6000-x\"= invt. in bonds
\n" ); document.write( "Putting into eqn, (assuming money return-interest per year)
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.06x%2B0.11%286000-x%29=580\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.06x%2B660-0.11x=580\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"660-580=0.11x-0.06x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"80=0.05x\" ----------> \"cross%2880%291600%2Fcross%280.05%29=cross%280.05%29x%2Fcross%280.05%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=1600%29\", money invested in stocks
\n" ); document.write( "\"6000-1600=highlight%284400%29\", money invested in bonds
\n" ); document.write( "Check,
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.06%281600%29%2B0.11%284400%29=580\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"96%2B484=580\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"580=580\"
\n" ); document.write( "It make sense to invest in bonds because it has higher interest, right?
