A Michigan orchard made 11,877 lb of Taffy apples, with approximatley 1 pound of taffy mixture for each 61.2 pounds of apples.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "ratio is 1 taffy : 61.2 apple or x : 61.2x where x is lbs. of taffy
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "x + 61.2x = 11,877
\n" ); document.write( "62.2x = 11,877
\n" ); document.write( "x = 190.95 (# of lbs of taffy needed)
\n" ); document.write( "61.2x = 11.686.05 (# of lbs of apples needed)
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
