Question 65961


You are right on target on this one!!!!!! Good work!!!!!You have gotten past the hard part.  All that's left to do is solve:

(1) A+B=9000
(2)A=(3.5)B

Substitute (2) in (1) and we have:

(3.5)B+B=9000
(4.5)B=9000
B=$2000 Total value of Stock B 

Substitute B=$2000 in (1):
A=9000-2000=$7000 Total value of stock A


ck
7000=(3.5)2000
and
7000+2000=9000


Hope this helps----ptaylor
