The account which gained 6.7%, y quantity invested
\n" ); document.write( "The account which lost 7.8%, 10000-y quantity invested\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Starting total quantity was 10000 dollars. (Assuming you made typing mistake)
\n" ); document.write( "Ending quantity was $\"10000-562.5\"$ dollars, or 9437.5 dollars.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Forming the equation by description:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%2B0.067y%2B%2810000-y%29-%2810000-y%290.078=9437.5\"$ --------first, think how this makes sense; and then when you are satisfied, solve for y. \n" ); document.write( "
