Question 1130897
.
<pre>
If x is invested i n the high-tech, then 3x is invested in the money market.


The rest,  50000-x-3x = 50-4x dollars is invested in the blue-chip.


The total interest equation is


    0.05*(3x) + 0.09*(50000-4x) + 0.16*x = 4000.


Simplify and solve for x.


Then estimate other investments.

Very simple.
