Answer 1

Answer:

Tom invested 35.8% of$400000 = $143,200

Step-by-step explanation:

100%-35.4%-28.8%= 35.8%

Multiply 35.8 % (0.358) x $400,000 = $143,200.

Check work:

400,000 x 35.4% = $141,600

400,000x 28.8% = $115,200

Add all of the totals together:

141,600 + 115,200 + 143,200 = $400,000
