\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the rate at which $1,000 is invested be I
\n" ); document.write( "Then rate at which $2,000 is invested = I + .005
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, 1,000(I) + 2,000(I + .005) = 250
\n" ); document.write( "1,000I + 2,000I + 10 = 250
\n" ); document.write( "3,000I + 10 = 250
\n" ); document.write( "3,000I = 240
\n" ); document.write( "I, or interest rate at which $1,000 is invested = \"240%2F3000\", or .08, or \"highlight_green%288%29\"%\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can do the check!!\r
