Volume of low percent mixture =V[b], a variable unknown
\n" ); document.write( "Concentration of low percent mixture as decimal fraction = P[b]
\n" ); document.write( "Volume of high percent mixture = V[a]
\n" ); document.write( "Concentration of high percent mixture decimal fraction = P[a]
\n" ); document.write( "Target concentraation percent as decimal fraction = P[t]\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"V%5Bb%5D\" is unknown and we need to find.
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%5Bb%5D\" = 0.25
\n" ); document.write( "\"V%5Ba%5D\" = 14 \"ounces\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%5Ba%5D\" = 0.30
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%5Bt%5D\" = 0.26\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Setup rational equation representing \"V%5Bb%5D\" that we want to add to get \"P%5Bt%5D\" as a result:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28V%5Bb%5D%2AP%5Bb%5D%2BV%5Ba%5D%2AP%5Ba%5D%29%2F%28V%5Bb%5D%2BV%5Ba%5D%29=P%5Bt%5D\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"V%5Bb%5D\", and then substitute the known values.

\n" );
