Let \"t\"= the pounds of taffy mixture used
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"a\"= the pounds of apples used
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+%2B+a+=+13800\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t%2Fa+=+1%2F77.2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+a%2F77.2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%2F77.2+%2B+a+=+13800\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%281%2F77.2+%2B+1%29+=+13800\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1.0129a+=+13800\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a+=+13624.2\"lbs
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+13800+-+13624.2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+175.8\"lbs
\n" ); document.write( "13624.2 pounds of apples and 175.8 pounds of taffy were used
