-------------- percent ---------------- Amount
\n" ); document.write( "Chemical I 50 ---------------- 15 liters
\n" ); document.write( "Chemical II 20 ---------------- x liters
\n" ); document.write( "Total 30 ---------------- 15 + x liters
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "50*15+20x=30(15 +x)
\n" ); document.write( "750+20x =450+30 x
\n" ); document.write( "20x-30 x=-750+ 450
\n" ); document.write( "-10x=-300
\n" ); document.write( "/ -10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 30 liters Chemical II
\n" ); document.write( " 30 liters Chemical I
