    60%

    Explanation:

    Since the question suggests a combined expected return portfolio of 12.8%, we ignore the standard deviation for both of the securities.

    The percentage of the portfolio will consist of security A, Wa =

    (Combined portfolio expected return - expected return of security B) / (expected return of security A - expected return of security B)

    Wa = (0.128 - 0.11) / (0.14 - 0.11)

    Wa = 0.018/0.03

    Wa = 0.60 = 60%
