The answer should be 7/10!
Answer:
-$1000
Step-by-step explanation:
(3800 - x)*3.5/100 = (3800 + x)*6/100
(3800 - x)7/200 = 3/50(3800 + x)
3800 - x = 12/7(3800 + x)
3800 - x = 45600/7 + 12x/7
(19x + 19000)/7 = 0
19x = -19000
x = -$1000.
The minus implies that the investment must occur in the first account, not the second. It wouldn't make sense to add more money into the second account, because the second account already exceeds the $188 interest with the amount it has in there. Therefore $1000 must be added from the second account and invested into the first.

No, Perry is not using the correct ratio, because 15:17 is not equivalent to 5:7
15 divided by 3 is indeed 5 but divided 17 by 3 does not give you 7, nor a whole number.
I hope this helps.
