Answer:

  (E) 22,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the amount invested in bonds. Then b/4 is the amount invested in stocks, and the total amount invested is ...

  b/4 +b = 28000

  5/4b = 28000 . . . . . collect terms

  b = (4/5)(28000) = 22,400 . . . . . multiply by 4/5

22,400 is invested in bonds.
