Respuesta :

1/2- 10/20
1/10- 2/20
1/20- 1/20
So $35,000 is 7/20 of his money
Then divide 35000/(7/20) to get 100,000 as what he saves

Answer:

Mr. Rodriguez saves and invests $65,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Mr. Rodriguez has total money = $x

Now his investment in land = [tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex]

Investment in stocks =[tex]\frac{x}{10}[/tex]

Investment in bonds =[tex]\frac{x}{20}[/tex]

So total investment =[tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex]+[tex]\frac{x}{10}[/tex]+[tex]\frac{x}{20}[/tex]

                                  =  [tex]\frac{10x+2x+x}{20}[/tex]

                                 =  [tex]\frac{13x}{20}[/tex]

Remaining amount after investment is $35,000

So 35,000 = x -  [tex]\frac{13x}{20}[/tex]

     35,000 =  [tex]\frac{20x-13x}{20}[/tex]

             7x  = 20 × 35,000

             7x = 700,000

               x = [tex]\frac{700,000}{7}[/tex]

               x = $100,000

and investments =  [tex]\frac{13x}{20}[/tex] =  [tex]\frac{13\times100,000}{20}[/tex] = $65,000

Total amount of money that Mr. Rodriguez saves $65,000.
