suppose you want to combine two types of fruit drink to creat 24 kilograms of a drink that will be 5% sugar by weight. fruit drink A is 4% sugar by weight, and fruit drink B is 8% sugar by weight
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "sugar + sugar = sugar
\n" ); document.write( "0.04x + 0.08(24-x) = 0.05*24
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 8*24 - 8x = 5*24
\n" ); document.write( "-4x = -3*24
\n" ); document.write( "x = 18 kg (amt. of 4% drink)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "24-x = 6 kg (amt. of 8% drink)
