cream has approximately 22% of butterfat.how many gallons of cream must be mixed with 2% milk to give 20 gallons of milk containing 4% of butterfat
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "fat + fat = fat
\n" ); document.write( "0.22x + 0.02(20-x) = 0.04*20
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "22x + 2*20 - 2x = 4*20
\n" ); document.write( "20x = 2*20
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2 gallons (amt. of cream needed in the mixture)
