For the problem:  Library/NAU/setLinearModeling/invest1.pg

Issue noticed with the seed = 3714

In the problem statement, where it says, 

the return on the total investment is \({$int:%0.02f}\)$PERCENT.


By rounding this displayed percentage (and since the money values are large),
it can cause a student doing correct work to get an incorrect answer because
the number they are working with was inaccurate to begin with.

I believe I have corrected the issue by simply changing the line to be the
following:

the return on the total investment is \( $int \)$PERCENT.


Thanks.

Tim
