How much developer is in the 8 pints?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8+%2A+0.6+=+4.8\"$ pints\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So now, how many pints of 24% liquid would have that same 4.8 pints of developer in it?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+%2A+0.24+=+4.8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+4.8%2F0.24\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+20\"$ total pints\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So how much do you have to add? 20-8 = 12 pints of pure water \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
