Would you not have to know the amount to be invested first?

Investing in 50% of the 8.5%, 20% of the 9.2 and 30% of the 3.1 would give you a 6.82% projected return....is that what you're after?

Unless this is multiple choice or there are at least three more constraints (equations), I'm pretty sure there is more than one solution to this problem. As it is, this is all we have to work with:
A(1.085)+B(1.092)+C(1.031)+D(1.048)=1.065 |

That's right, there are infinite number of solutions. I want to put together at least 5 options.
