.75X+.50(1,000-X)=.65*1,000
\n" ); document.write( ".75X+500-.50X=650
\n" ); document.write( ".25X=650-500
\n" ); document.write( ".25X=150
\n" ); document.write( "X=150/.25
\n" ); document.write( "X=600 AMOUNT OF 75% ADDITIVE IS USED.
\n" ); document.write( "1,000-600=400 AMOUNT OF 50% ADDITIVE IS USED.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( ".75*600+.50*400=.65*1,000
