------ Percent ----------------quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Saline solution I 18 ----------------80
\n" ); document.write( "Saline solution II 8 ----------------x
\n" ); document.write( "Total 12 ----------------80+x
\n" ); document.write( "18*80+8*x=12(80 +x)
\n" ); document.write( "1440+8x =960+12x
\n" ); document.write( "8x-12x=960-1440
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "-4x=-480
\n" ); document.write( "/-4
\n" ); document.write( "x=120 cu.cm 8% Saline solution II
