-------------- percent ---------------- Amount
\n" ); document.write( "Alcohol I 20 ----------------60 ounces
\n" ); document.write( "Alcohol II 50 ----------------x ounces
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 30 ---------------- 60 + x ounces
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "20*60+50x=30(60 +x)
\n" ); document.write( "1200+50x=1800+30x
\n" ); document.write( "50x-30x =-1200+1800
\n" ); document.write( "20x=600
\n" ); document.write( "/ 20
\n" ); document.write( "x = 30 ounces Alcohol II
