How many ounces of pure chocolate must be added to 270 oz of chocolate topping that is 50% chocolate to make a topping that is 75% chocolate?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "choco + choco = choco
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "0.50*270 + 1.00x = 0.75(270+x)
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "50*250 + 100x = 75*270 + 75x
\n" ); document.write( "25x = 25*270
\n" ); document.write( "x = 270 oz (amt. of pure choco needed in the mixture)
\n" ); document.write( "======================
