An investor has $⁢25,000 to invest in stocks and bonds. She wants the ratio of stocks to bonds to be 3 to 2 Which equation can she use to find the amount to invest in bonds, x ?

Let x be the amount invested in bonds, so the amount invested in stocks is 25,000 − x. The ratio of stocks to bonds is therefore (25,000 − x)/x, which must equal 3/2. Choice D gives this equation; reversing the ratio would represent bonds to stocks instead.
