percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Metal alloy I 14 ---------------- x ounces
\n" ); document.write( "Metal alloy II 16 ------ 100 - x ounces
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 16 ---------------- 100
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "14x+16(100-x)=15.6*100
\n" ); document.write( "1400x+1600(100- x)=156000
\n" ); document.write( "1400x+160000-1600x=156000
\n" ); document.write( "1400x-1600x= 156000 -160000
\n" ); document.write( "-200 x = -4000
\n" ); document.write( "/ -200
\n" ); document.write( "x=20ounces 14.00% Metal alloy I
\n" ); document.write( "80 ounces 16.00% Metal alloy II
