totally changed the way I was going about it.

Can this be simplified any further?

# Bank = A running total
def pool
if Bank > 200 then Bank * 0.05
Else $10.00
end

def ROIcalc2
	((xunits * max_return)/pool)*100 > Per
end

# scenario 1
xunits = (0.6)step(0.8, 0.05)
Per = 190
puts "What ratio of return do you expect?"
gets.chomp
ROI = (gets.chomp).to_f
max_return = pool * ROI
when xunits in ROIcalc2(xunits, max_return, pool, Per) is true then
Xunits_2 = 1.0 - xunits
	puts "xunits equals " + xunits + " xunits2 equals " + Xunits_2
		else
			puts " This is am invalid option please choose another option "
end
