You can put this solution on YOUR website!
lets call the amount of 60% and 30% solutions a and b respectively
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a+b=125.....eq 1
\n" ); document.write( ".6a+.3b=.36(125)..eq 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "lets rewrite eq 1 to a=125-b and plug that value into eq 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".6(125-b)+.3b=.36(125)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "75-.6b+.3b=45
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-.3b=-30
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28b=100%29\"ml of 30% solution
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=125-b=125-100=highlight%2825%29\"ml of 60% solution
