percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "alloy 60 ---------------- 25 gms
\n" ); document.write( "alloy 5 ---------------- 40 gms
\n" ); document.write( "Total x ---------------- 65 gms
\n" ); document.write( "60*25+5* 40=65x
\n" ); document.write( "1500+200 =65x
\n" ); document.write( "1700=65x
\n" ); document.write( "/65
\n" ); document.write( "1700/65= x
\n" ); document.write( "26.15=x
\n" ); document.write( "26.5% mix
