\n" );
document.write( "yield 5 liters
\n" );
document.write( "Let x and (5L-x) represent the amount of 4% and 3% solution
\n" );
document.write( "Question states***
\n" );
document.write( "  .04x +.03(5L-x)= 3.82*5L 
\n" );
document.write( "Solving for x
\n" );
document.write( "      .01x = 3.79*5L
