Austin & Kaitlyn Kojan invested $195,000 in a business venture. If Kaitlyn invested 2 1/4 as much as Austin invested, how much money did Kaitlyn invest?

Answer 1

Let x = the amount that Austin invested.

2 1/4x + x = 195,000

3 1/4x = 195,000

x = 60,000

195,000 - 60,000 = _______ amount Kaitlyn invested
