.25(.04)x + .40(.06)x + .35(.09)x = 6550
.01x + .024x + .0315x = 6550
.0655x = 6550
x = 100,000
 
Orlando Salavarrio, a financial planner, recommended that 25% of a client's investment be placed in a 4% annual simple interest tax-free account, that 40% be placed in 6% certificates of deposit, and that the remainder be placed in a 9% high-risk investment. The total interest earned from the investments would be $6550. Find the total amount to be invested.
