40x+60(100-x)=48(100)
\n" ); document.write( "40x+6000-60x=4800
\n" ); document.write( "-20x=-1200
\n" ); document.write( "x=60\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "100-60=40\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "hence, for 40% about 60 G is used and for 60% about 40 G is used.
