Question 1039112
Let {{{ x }}} = the amount invested making
a 15% profit
{{{ 17000 - x }}} = the amount invested making
a 20% loss
-------------------
{{{  .15x - .2*( 17000 - x ) = 800 }}}
{{{ .15x - 3400 + .2x = 800 }}}
{{{  .35x = 4200 }}}
{{{ x = 12000 }}}
and
{{{ 17000 - 12000 = 5000 }}}
------------------------------
$12,000 was invested making 15% profit
$5,000 was invested with 20% loss
