I'm not sure if i use the 10 or 100 to mutiply it with. I will show you what i have to far hopefully it is right. Thank you so much for your help. \r

How many ounces of a 50% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 10 oz of an 80% antifreeze solution to produce a 60% antifreeze solution?
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "anti + anti = anti
\n" ); document.write( "0.80*10 + 0.50x = 0.60(10+x)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "80*10 + 50x = 60*10 + 60x
\n" ); document.write( "10x = 20*10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 20 oz (amt. of 50% anti needed)
\n" ); document.write( "=======
\n" ); document.write( "Cheers,
