Problem 23
For exercises 17 and 18, use this scenario: A retired woman has $$\$ 50,000$$ to invest but needs to make $$\$ 6,000$$ a year from the interest to meet certain living expenses. One bond investment pays \(15 \%\) annual interest. The rest of it she wants to put in a CD that pays \(7 \%\). Paul has $$\$ 20,000$$ to invest. His intent is to earn \(11 \%\) interest on his investment. He can invest part of his money at \(8 \%\) interest and part at \(12 \%\) interest. How much does Paul need to invest in each option to make get a total \(11 \%\) return on his $$\$ 20,000 ?$$
