Price $ ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Tea type I 5 ----------------x pound
\n" ); document.write( "Tea type II 3 ------ 100 - x pound
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 5 ---------------- 100
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "5x+3(100-x)=4.5 * 100
\n" ); document.write( "500x+300(100-x) =45000
\n" ); document.write( "500x+30000-300x=45000
\n" ); document.write( "500x-300x=45000 - -30000
\n" ); document.write( "200x=15000
\n" ); document.write( "/ 200
\n" ); document.write( "x= 75 pound Tea type I
