You can put this solution on YOUR website!
we can eliminate
\n" ); document.write( "b. $250,$100,$300........31.5
\n" ); document.write( "c. $400,$100,$100.......54\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "because total amount is lower than a and d\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check a:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a. $200,$300,$250......with 9% interest per year=\"0.09\" ...first year you get \"200%2A0.09=18\" interest; in all $\"218\",
\n" ); document.write( "second year \"300%2A0.09=27\" interest per year,for two years will be \"300%2B2%2A27=300%2B54=354\",\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "third year \"250%2A0.09=22.5\"interest per year \"250%2B3%2A22.5=%24250%2B67.5=317.5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "for all three years you got:$\"218%2B354%2B317.5=highlight%28889.5%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "d. $300,$200,$250..........first year you get \"300%2B27=+327\", second year \"200%2B2%2A18=236\", third year \"250%2B3%2A22.5=317.5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "for all three years you got: \"327%2B236%2B317.5=highlight%28880.5%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, your answer is a. $200,$300,$250
\n" ); document.write( "
