6c-income received from $1 of $500 total income; then par value of second stock. 84c cost of $1 of this stock. ... 833384c=$7000, cost of second stock, and $7000-$6000=$1000, amount to be borrowed. 34.

Suppose 6% mining stock cost me 20% less than 5% canal stock, but my income from each is $300; if the whole investment brings me 6%, find cost of each kind of stock. 6c average income on $r of its cost.

The cost of $1 of canal stock is to the cost of $1 of mining stock as 100: 80, or as 5: 4; and the par value of canal stock is to the par value of mining stock as 6000: 5000, or as 6:5. Then the entire cost of canal stock is to the entire cost of mining stock as 5×6:4×5, or as 3:2. ... of $10000 = $6000, cost of canal stock, and % of $10000 = $4000, cost of mining stock. READING. I.
