.16x+.08(320-x)=.13*320
\n" ); document.write( ".16x+25.6-.08x=41.6
\n" ); document.write( ".08x=41.6-25.6
\n" ); document.write( ".08x=16
\n" ); document.write( "x=16/.08
\n" ); document.write( "x=200 lbs. of soybeans is used.
\n" ); document.write( "320-200=120 lbs. of cornmeal is used.Proof:
\n" ); document.write( ".16*200+.08*120=41.6
\n" ); document.write( "32+9.6=41.6
\n" ); document.write( "41.6=41.6\r
