Amount invested in bonds and cd = $75,000
\n" ); document.write( "Let the amount invested in bonds= $x
\n" ); document.write( "and amount invested in cds= $y
\n" ); document.write( "According to the question, $x= $y+$4,000 ...(1)
\n" ); document.write( " $x +$y= $75,000 ...(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Now substitute the value of x in equation 2
\n" ); document.write( " $y+ $4,000 + $y= $75,000
\n" ); document.write( " $2y + $4,000= $75,000
\n" ); document.write( " $2y = $75,000- $4,000
\n" ); document.write( " $2y = $71,000
\n" ); document.write( " $y= $71,000/2
\n" ); document.write( " y= $35,500-------Amount invested in cds
\n" ); document.write( " x= 35,500 +4,000
\n" ); document.write( " x= $39,500-------Amount invested in bonds
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
