Find how many quarts of 6% butterfat milk and 2% butterfat milk should be mixed to yield 40 quarts of 3% butterfat milk.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "fat + fat = fat
\n" ); document.write( "0.02x + 0.06(40-x) = 0.03*40
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 6*40 - 6x = 3*40
\n" ); document.write( "-4x = -3*40
\n" ); document.write( "x = 30 quarts (amt. of 2% solution needed)
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "40-x = 10 quarts (amt. of 6% solution needed)
\n" ); document.write( "============================
