Ziggy's Famous Yogurt blends regular yogurt that is 3% fat with its no-fat yogurt
\n" ); document.write( " to obtain low fat yogurt that is 1% fat.
\n" ); document.write( "How many pounds of regular yogurt and how many pounds of no-fat yogurt should
\n" ); document.write( " be mixed to obtain 60 pounds of low fat yogurt?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let n = amt of no fat stuff required
\n" ); document.write( "the resulting amt is given as 60 lb, therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "(60-n) = amt of 3% stuff
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".03(60-n) = .01(60)
\n" ); document.write( "1.8 - .03n = .6
\n" ); document.write( "1.8 - .6 = .03n
\n" ); document.write( "1.2 = .03n
\n" ); document.write( "n = \"1.2%2F.03\"
\n" ); document.write( "n = 40 lb of no-fat
\n" ); document.write( "then, obviously, 20 lb of 3% needed
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution (the amt of fat is unchanged)
\n" ); document.write( ".03(20) = .01(60)
\n" ); document.write( ".6 = .6
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
