In order to solve this you just need to create a litte equation, to represent the bonds we will use "x" so Bonds equals "x" and the stocks are three times the amount of bonds plus 6,000 that is 3x+6,000, if you add both the result will be $24,000
The solve of that problem is that Hernry invested $18.000 in stocks and $6.000 in bonds.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, to explain you have to do a multiplication about 6 on three. Like three times more than bonds, the result is 18. Then you have to do a subtraction on $24.000 less $18.000, and the result is $6.000, so six is the amount on bonds. And is three times less than stocks, like the questions ask.
