Let \"+x+\" = amount invested in bank bonds
\n" ); document.write( "Interest from bank bonds is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.031%2Ax++\"
\n" ); document.write( "Interest from Canada savings bonds is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.0485%2A%28+4100+-+x+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Interest from both of these is the same, so
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.031x+=+.0485%2A%28+4100+-+x+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.031x+=+198.85+-+.0485x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.0795x+=+198.85+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+2501.26+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+4100+-+x+=+4100+=+2501.26+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+4100+-+x+=+1598.74+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "$2,501 was invested in bank bonds
\n" ); document.write( "$1,599 was invested in Canada savings bonds
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.031%2A2501+=+77.531+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.0485%2A1599+=+77.552+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Looks pretty close, I think error
\n" ); document.write( "is due to rounding off\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
