Smart People: Help me do math homework

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.

Okay, then go to this website and go wild filling in the letters in the equation I included.

So now I just get to plug in numbers for A, B, C, and D?

Yep. If you want a discrete solution, fill in 3 of them and leave the fourth as a variable, and Wolfram will calculate it.

How does it feel to be smart? Is it a burden at times?
