how much 2% milk and 9% whipping cream need
\n" ); document.write( "to be mixed to make 35 gallons of 4% milk?
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "fat + fat = fat
\n" ); document.write( "0.02x + 0.09*(35-x) = 0.04(35)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 9*35 - 9x = 4*35
\n" ); document.write( "-7x = -5*35
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = 25 gallons (amt. of 2% milk needed)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "35-x = 10 gallons (amt. of 9% milk needed)
