Equal amounts are invested at 6%, 7%, and 9% annual interest.
If the three investments yield a total of $814 annual interest, find the total investment.
:
Let x = amt invested at each interest

.06x + .07x + .09x = 814
.22x = 814
x = 814%2F.22
x = $3700 invested at each
therefore
3(3700) = $11,100 is the total
