you invest 1200 dollars in stock and bonds the stock pays 9% interest and the bonds pay 6% interest if the total annual interest is 96 much is invested in the stock alone dollars how\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity:: s + b = 1200
\n" ); document.write( "Interest::0.9s + 0.06b = 96
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru the Quantity Eq. by 90
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru the Interest Eq. by 100
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "90s + 90b = 90*1200
\n" ); document.write( "90s+ 6b = 9600
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract to get:
\n" ); document.write( "84b = 98400
\n" ); document.write( "b = $1171.43 (amt. invested in bonds)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"s\":
\n" ); document.write( "s + b = 1200
\n" ); document.write( "s + 1171.43 = 1200
\n" ); document.write( "s = $28.57 (amt. invested in stocks)
