streakfree window cleaner is 12% alcohol and sunstream window cleaner is 30% alcohol. how much of each should be used to make 90 oz. of a cleaner that is 20% alcohol?
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "alcohol + alcohol = alcohol
\n" ); document.write( "0.12x + 0.30(90-x) = 0.20*90
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "12x + 30*90 - 30x = 20*90
\n" ); document.write( "-18x = -10*90
\n" ); document.write( "x = 50 oz (amt. of 12% solution in the mixture)
\n" ); document.write( "90-x = 40 oz (amt. of 30% solution in the mixture)
\n" ); document.write( "=====================================================
