percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Salt solution I 0.04 ---------------- x L
\n" ); document.write( "Salt solution II 0.19 ------ 1 - x L
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 0.13% ---------------- 1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "0.04x+0.19(1-x) =0.13* 1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "0.04x+0.19-0.19 x=0.13
\n" ); document.write( "0.04x- 0.19x =0.13- 0.19
\n" ); document.write( "-0.15 x=-0.06
\n" ); document.write( "/ -0.15
\n" ); document.write( "x= 0.4 L 0.04% Salt solution I
\n" ); document.write( " 0.6 L 0.19% Salt solution II
