400x+150(50-x)=250*50
\n" ); document.write( "400x+7500-150x+12500
\n" ); document.write( "250x=5000
\n" ); document.write( "x=20
\n" ); document.write( "$400=20 oz
\n" ); document.write( "$150=30 oz
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "400*20=8000
\n" ); document.write( "150*30=4500
\n" ); document.write( "total= 12500
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "12500/50=250
