--------percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Saline I 22 ---------------- 80 cc
\n" ); document.write( "Saline II 12 ---------------- x cc
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 16 ---------------- 80 + x cc
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "22 * 80 + 12 x = 16 ( 80 + x )
\n" ); document.write( "1760 + 12 x = 1280 + 16 x
\n" ); document.write( "12 x + -16 x = 1280 - -1760
\n" ); document.write( "-4 x = -480
\n" ); document.write( "/ -4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 120
\n" ); document.write( " 120 cc of Saline II
\n" ); document.write( "
