regular yogurt that is 3%fat and 1% fat yogurt.
\n" ); document.write( " How many pounds of regular yogurt and how many pounds of no fat yogurt would have to be mixed to obtain 60 pounds of low-fat yogurt.
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Assume that he low fat stuff is 1%
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt of 3% stuff
\n" ); document.write( "The resulting amt is to be 60 lb, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "(60-x} = amt of no fat (0%)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an amt of fat equation
\n" ); document.write( ".03x + 0(60-x) = .01(60)
\n" ); document.write( "which is
\n" ); document.write( ".03x = .01(60)
\n" ); document.write( ".03x = .6
\n" ); document.write( "x = \".6%2F.03\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 20 lb of 3% stuff
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "60 - 20 = 40 lb of no-fat \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
