    46.5%

    Explanation:

    The treasury bills have zero beta as they have no systematic risk. Beta is used in the Capital asset pricing Model to demonstrate a relationship between systematic risk and rate of return.

    Expected Return = Rf + Beta * Rp

    The percentage that should be invested in the risky portfolio will be,

    1 - 1 / Beta

    1 - 1 / 1.87

    = 46.5%
