Chocolates costing - $4.60
\n" ); document.write( "Amount in lbs. - $4.60x
\n" ); document.write( "Total of Each - $4.60x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Chocolates costing - $5.00
\n" ); document.write( "Amount in lbs. - 6-x
\n" ); document.write( "Total of Each - 5.00(6-x)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Mixture - $4.90
\n" ); document.write( "Total of Mixutre - $4.90(6)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4.60x + 5.00(6-x) = 29.40 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4.60x + 30.00 + 5.00x = 29.40\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "0.40x = 0.60\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 1.5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check your answer\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4.60(1.5) = 6.9/It take 1.5 pounds of the chocolate costing $4.60
\n" ); document.write( "5.00(6-1.5) = 22.50/ It take 4.5 amounts of the chocolate costing $5.00
\n" ); document.write( "6.9 + 22.50 = 29.40
\n" ); document.write( "4.5 + 1.5 = 6.0\r
