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.
