Thank you very much!!!! Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The profit for the entire stock is
If the amount invested in the dogwoods is x, the amount invested
in the maples is 20000 - x
So, 7,500 was invested in dogwoods and 12,500 was invested in maples
