The problem needs just one variable.
\n" ); document.write( "Let p = the number of pounds of Sumatran coffee to add to the Kona beans.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You want the resulting blend to be 65% Kona.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"50%2A100%2F%2850%2Bp%29=65\"
\n" ); document.write( "Adding p pounds of Sumatra coffee will reduce the concentration of Kona in the blend from 100% down to whatever concentration is desired.
\n" ); document.write( "SOLVE FOR p.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5000=65%28p%2B50%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5000=65p%2B3250\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"65p=5000-3250\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"65p=1750\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"p=26%2612%2F13\" pounds, but some judgement should be made here about what is most practical. Best would be to bring that fraction down just a little bit, say make it to about \"7%2F8\" of a pound to ensure at least 65% Kona. Say \"highlight%28p=26%267%2F8%29\" pounds.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
