How many ounces of pure chocolate must be added to 140 oz of chocolate topping that is 50% chocolate to make a topping that is 75% chocolate?
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "chocolate + chocolate = chocolate
\n" ); document.write( "0.50*140 + 1.00x = 0.75(140+x)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 and solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "50*140 + 100x = 75*140 + 75x
\n" ); document.write( "25x = 25*140
\n" ); document.write( "x = 140 oz (amt. of pure chocolate that must be added to the mixture)
\n" ); document.write( "====================
