h = the amount of pounds of hazelnut coffee
\n" ); document.write( "c = the amount of pounds of cinnamon coffee
\n" ); document.write( "*Remember: c = 10 - h
\n" ); document.write( "(7.5h + 6.75c)/10 = 7
\n" ); document.write( "7.5h + 6.75c = 70
\n" ); document.write( "7.5h + 6.75(10 - h) = 70
\n" ); document.write( "7.5h + 67.5 - 6.75h = 70
\n" ); document.write( "0.75h = 2.5
\n" ); document.write( "h = 3 1/3
\n" ); document.write( "c = 10 - h = 10 - 3 1/3 = 6 2/3 \n" ); document.write( "
