This problem is mainly concerned with setting up an equation.

let's add the interest rates times their respective investment amounts:

a = (9000 + x)0.10

b = x \times 0.06

c=(20000 - ((9000 + x) + x)) 0.08

simplify:

c = (11000 - 2x) \times 0.08

sum of interest:

1780 = a + b + c

1780 = (9000+x) 0.10 + x 0.06 + (11000-2x)0.08

1780 = 1780 + 0 \times x

0=0

solution:

He does not have any invested in the 6%, while he has 9000 invested at 10% and 11,000 invested at 8%

to check:

9000 \times 0.10 + 11000 \times 0.08

= 900 + 880 = 1780

So this ended up being a trick problem because he does not actually have any invested in the 6% option.
