    Answer: the sum invested = $600

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Interest (I) = Principal (P) * rate (r) * time (t)

    Original amount: I = P * r * 3

    Increased by 1%: I + 18 = P * (1+.01) r * 3

    Substitute I with Prt and set the equations equal to each other to find r:

    3Pr + 18 = 3.03Pr

    Solve for Pr:

    18 = 0.03Pr

    :0.03 : 0.03

    600 = Pr
