\n" ); document.write( " If she has $10,000 invested at 9%, how much additional money should she invest at 15%?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt invested at 15%
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".09(10000) + .15x = .11(x + 10000)
\n" ); document.write( "900 + .15x = .11x + 1100
\n" ); document.write( ".15x - .11x = 1100 - 900
\n" ); document.write( ".04x = 200
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"200%2F.04\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = $5000 needs to be added at 15%
