Problem 52

A student won \(\$ 100,000\) in the Louisiana state lottery. He invested part of the money in real estate with an annual return of \(5 \%\) and another part in a money market account at \(0.5 \%\) interest. He invested the rest, which amounted to \(\$ 20,000\) less than the sum of the other two parts, in certificates of deposit that pay \(1.75 \%\) If the total annual interest on the money was \(\$ 3250,\) how much was invested at each rate?
