percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Antifreeze I 40 ---------------- 5 quarts
\n" ); document.write( "Antifreeze II 100 ---------------- x quarts
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 60 ---------------- 15 + x quarts
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "40 * 5 + 100 x = 60 ( 15 + x )
\n" ); document.write( "200 + 100 x = 900 + 60 x
\n" ); document.write( "100 x + -60 x = 900 - -200
\n" ); document.write( "40 x = 700
\n" ); document.write( "/ 40
\n" ); document.write( "x = 17.5
\n" ); document.write( " 17.5 quarts of 100 % Antifreeze II
\n" ); document.write( "So 17.5 quarts has to be drained
