Year         Sam              Sally1:             X                    (3/2)X-10002:            (5/2)X-2000     2X-15003:             X/5+1000       X/4+1400Total         37X/10-1000    15X/4-1100
Since their investments are known to be equal, we equate the two totals and solve for X.37X/10-1000=15X/4-1100(150-148)X/40 = 1100-1000X/20=100X=2000
So Sam invested $2000 the first year.Sally invested X/4+1400=1900 in the last year.
