yeah yeah yeah i know you’re waiting for the halloween photos, but i haven’t done them yet.

to keep you occupied, here is a math problem for you.

mary patton came as an evil math witch; she had math problems pasted all over her black dress and hat.

here is one math problem, that i don’t even know if it can be done.  maybe some of them are made-up math problems.

they’re probably all real ones.  i have always totally sucked at math.

please let me know the answer, and how you got it.

A MAN INVESTS $900 MORE AT 4% ANNUAL INTEREST THAN HE DOES AT 5%.  THE INCOME FROM THE 4% INVESTMENT IS $19 LESS THAN THE INCOME FROM THE 5% INVESTMENT.  HOW MUCH WAS INVESTED AT 4%?

i mean, i look at this and IF MY LIFE DEPENDED ON IT, i could not even begin to think about how you would figure this out.

i know that many of you must know how to do it.

ok then,

mrs. mathematically challenged hughes.
